-----------------------------------------------------------------
The lock on the parent during creation of a view is need to prevent a race
condition between creating a view and adding/dropping a column from a base
table. This will no longer be required after PHOENIX-3534. For now, we can
reduce contention by not locking the parent during drop as that's not required.
Please review, [~vincentpoon].

> When there are many views with the same parent table, there's a lot of
> contention when adding new views and dropping existing views. The lock is
> only necessary when creating/dropping indexes, so should be removed in the
> case of views.
