[PATCH] staging: dgnc: take lock when storing value in dgnc_poll_tick

[Salah Triki <salah.triki@xxxxxxx>]

dgnc_poll_tick is declared global, so dgnc_driver_pollrate_store needs to take
the lock dgnc_poll_lock before modifying this variable. dgnc_poll_lock is
the appropriate lock, since it is inteded for poll scheduling and dgnc_poll_tick
contains the poll rate. dgnc_poll_lock needs to be declared not static and extern
in order to be visible for dgnc_driver_pollrate_store.
