Subject[PATCH 11/26] dynamic_debug: hoist locking in ddebug_change to callers
Date
From: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@gmail.com>

Hoist locking out of ddebug_change() into ddebug_exec_queries().
This reduces lock fiddling, but will increase hold-times slightly,
at least when many queries are submitted.

With verbose off, on a 266 MHz, takes, I get a reasonable:

#> time cat query-file-w-300-pending-queries > $CONTROL
real 0m0.508s
user 0m0.009s
sys 0m0.290s
