Keyguard - Treat messsages to lock with priority
When switching users and attempting to lock the device, the sysui main
thread becomes overwhelmed with events, creating a significant lag
between the time a message is posted and processed on the main
thread. This can be dangerous when these events are critical for
security, such as calls coming from PhoneWindowManager#lockNow() that
call KeyguardViewMediator#doKeyguardTimeout(). On older devices with
slower CPUs and less memory, the delay in processing can be
significant (15 - 30s).
The result of not prioritizing these events leads to a window of time
where a guest user can switch back to the owner, and gain access to
the owner's homescreen without needing to unlock the device with the
owner's credentials.
As a mitigation, prioritize two events originating in two specific
methods to make sure the device locks as soon as possible as well as
have the system server preemptively update its local cache.
