poll_tick is declared global, so dgnc_driver_pollrate_* need to take the lock dgnc_poll_lock before accessing to this variable. dgnc_poll_lock the appropriate lock, since it is intended 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_*.
