dahdi: Experimentally remove dependency on the Big Kernel Lock.

With the release of Linux 2.6.37, the Big Kernel Lock is now a compile
time option.  This change adds a mutex around the one place in the code
that we already knew was dependent on the lock_kernel/unlock_kernel
calls for serialization and drops the other calls to
lock_kernel/unlock_kernel if CONFIG_BKL is not defined.

This is *mostly* the dahdi-no-bkl.patch with a few minor whitespace
changes, the global_dialparmslock made static, and a warning added to
let people know they are running an experimental configuration.
