Neels Hofmeyr 33f71a1200 fsm: use deferred deallocation
Since osmo-bsc uses the MGCP client FSMs, it is required to enable this new
feature to guarantee safe operation. The issue is described in detail in commit
logs linked below.

Notably, osmo-msc currently chooses to omit error handling during MGCP events
(marked "FIXME"). An upcoming patch implements this error handling, and would
make osmo-msc vulnerable to crash from unexpected MGCP messages without this.

Deferred FSM deallocation is a more general, simpler approach to
osmo_fsm_term_safely(), so we can switch that off now.

About OsmoMSC
=============

OsmoMSC originated from the OpenBSC project, which started as a minimalistic
all-in-one implementation of the GSM Network. In 2017, OpenBSC had reached
maturity and diversity (including M3UA SIGTRAN and 3G support in the form of
IuCS and IuPS interfaces) that naturally lead to a separation of the all-in-one
approach to fully independent separate programs as in typical GSM networks.

OsmoMSC was one of the parts split off from the old openbsc.git. Before, it was
the libmsc part of the old OsmoNITB. Since a true A interface and IuCS for 3G
support is available, OsmoMSC exists only as a separate standalone entity.

OsmoMSC exposes
- GSUP towards OsmoHLR (or a MAP proxy);
- A over IP towards a BSC (e.g. OsmoBSC);
- IuCS towards an RNC or HNB-GW (e.g. OsmoHNBGW) for 3G voice;
- MNCC (Mobile Network Call Control derived from GSM TS 04.07);
- SMPP 3.4 (Short Message Peer-to-Peer);
- The Osmocom typical telnet VTY and CTRL interfaces.
