    Fix deadlock in RPZ update code. · 06021b35

    In dns_rpz_update_from_db we call setup_update which creates the db
    iterator and calls dns_dbiterator_first. This unpauses the iterator and
    might cause db->tree_lock to be acquired. We then do isc_task_send(...)
    on an event to do quantum_update, which (correctly) after each iteration
    calls dns_dbiterator_pause, and re-isc_task_sends itself.
    
    That's an obvious bug, as we're holding a lock over an async task send -
    if a task requesting write (e.g. prune_tree) is scheduled on the same
    workers queue as update_quantum but before it, it will wait for the
    write lock indefinitely, resulting in a deadlock.
    
    To fix it we have to pause dbiterator in setup_update.
