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.
