* the channel's listener, a chain of listeners is created.
* The caller of setNewListener has no way to control at which place

* Note: The caller of setNewListener must not delay passing
* OnStartRequest to the original listener.
*
* Note2: A channel may restrict when the listener can be replaced.
* It is not recommended to allow listener replacement after OnStartRequest
* has been called.
