ffcc360 adjusted updateBalancingState() to require being run within the sync context. However, it still queued the work into the sync context, which was unnecessary. This re-entering the sync context unnecessarily delays the new state from being used.
I found this with a new xds test I've prepared, after fixing some problems in xds name resolver. See master...ejona86:grpc-java:xds-cluster-race (which I'll send out once this is merged). After fixing XdsNameResolver, the test went from failing 2% to ~0.2% of the time. That led me to discover this delayed processing. With both changes, there were no flakes in 1000 runs.
