Hi,

Please review this small change.

1) Fixing a deadlock in diagnostic command dcmd print_compile_queues - 
between the CompileQueue_lock and safepointing. The CompileQueue_lock 
requires that we are not at a safepoint when taking it. Otherwise a 
java-thread that already holds the lock will block when trying to get 
another lock. In this specific case the compiler threads are Java 
threads, they take the CompileQueue_lock frequently and some time takes 
the CompileTaskAlloc_lock after that.

Fixing this by making the diagnostic command not request a safepoint,

2) Refactoring away the lock() accessor in CompileQueue and stating the 
lock explicitly. This removes an element of surprise and makes it easier 
understanding the code.
