Hehe. I was thinking, maybe we can write wrapper helpers around lock/unlock
which are stored as pointers in sg_policy. So that those are only set to
non-NULL values (or non-Noop routines) for slow-switching single policy or
any-switching shared policy systems. Then we can get rid of such conditional
locking attempts :)
