Issue

Reproduction steps:

  1. Startup the portal
  2. Set the following log levels:
    com.liferay.portlet.sites.util DEBUG
    com.liferay.exportimport.internal.controller INFO
    com.liferay.layout.admin.web.internal.exportimport.data.handler.LayoutStagedModelDataHandler WARN
  3. Create a site template
  4. Create a site from this template
  5. Add a new page to the site
  6. Add a new page with the same name and friendly URL to the template
  7. Refresh the site

 Expected result: After one attempt, the site template propagation stops, and only restarts when the URL of the conflicting layout is actually changed.
 Actual result: The site template propagation is started for every getLayout() call, even multiple times for a one-page load. This is visible from the many "Acquired lock..", "Applying layout set prototype...", "Released lock..." messages from the log. Also, the page load time is significantly longer than usual.
