Prevent reentrant dispatchMountItems calls

Summary:
Turns out that dispatchMountItems was reentrant, meaning that something (in particular, updateState) could cause mount items to be queued up which would then be executed synchronously, out-of-order, in the middle of the previous dispatchMountItems call.

We will continue to monitor this and see how often we're reentering: T63181639 and via any soft exceptions that are logged.

For context, there are currently three ways dispatchMountItems gets called: 1) On every UI Tick in the UI thread, in a loop; 2) via animations, via synchronouslyUpdateViewOnUIThread, which happens to fail a *lot* currently; 3) when there is a commit on the UI thread, like with a Java->C++ state update. We must account for reentrance and failure in all three cases and make sure the `mInDispatch` flag is reset after success or failure in all of those situations.
