cel_pgsql: deadlock on unload and core_event_dispatcher

A deadlock can happen between a thread unloading or reloading the cel_pgsql
module and the core_event_dispatcher taskprocessor thread. Description of
what is happening:

Thread 1 (for example, a netconsole thread):

    a "module reload cel_pgsql" is launched
    the thread enter the "my_unload_module" function (cel_pgsql.c)
    the thread acquire the write lock on psql_columns
    the thread enter the "ast_event_unsubscribe" function (event.c)
    the thread try to acquire the write lock on ast_event_subs[sub->type]

Thread 2 (core_event_dispatcher taskprocessor thread):

    the taskprocessor pop a CEL event
    the thread enter the "handle_event" function (event.c)
    the thread acquire the read lock on ast_event_subs[sub->type]
    the thread callback the "pgsql_log" function (cel_pgsql.c), since it's a subscriber of CEL events
    the thread try to acquire a read lock on psql_columns
