The state lock is used in 3 functions in gstelement:

1) send_event
2) set_state
3) finalize

Don't see exactly how adding a pad can conflict with those. But I might be
wrong too :)

Looking on the other way, the add_pad from gstelement doesn't hold the lock
while testing if the pad is flushing, comparing with the element state and then
activating it if needed (with a proper warning).

I guess we're assuming that the user is not supposed to be adding pads and
changing states at the same time. So we might leave this patch without the lock
at all.

In any case, let's have Wim's opinion.
