Milter-greylist

Hello,

I got a lot of messages like that:

Is it possible to protect the full conf_update() function?
Many threads from mlfi_envfrom() came into conf_update() and found
the condition st.st_mtime < conffile_modified.tv_sec
to be false, so they all want to reread the conf file.
They are blocked too late inside conf_update().

My greylist.conf file has near 5000 line, so it isn't really a trivial job
to read.

I attach the patches which I did not test extensively.
I do not know what is the exact lock hierarchy but this new lock should be
somewhere at the top.

Bests,
Attila

I integrated your patch.
