[SNMP4J] MangedObjects locking

[Frank Fock]

Hi Asaf,

The MOServer.lock only blocks write access to a ManagedObject from a 
different object (=request) than the
object (=request) that acquired the lock.

If you want to block any access, the easiest way is to make unregister 
the ManagedObject
before it is being updated and then reregistering it. The problem with 
that is a concurrent request
may be still using the unregistered ManagedObject because it entered 
that object before it
has been actually unregistered.

Do you really need to block any request?

Anyway, I will think about the best way how to implement this 
(optionally) in SNMP4J-Agent
as I agree that in certain situations it could be helpful.

Best regards,
Frank
