Instead of converting the string to a quark and comparing quarks we
use the new lockless g_quark_to_string and just compare the quarks
in the datalist with the given string.

This means we avoid the global lock for string to quark. Additionally
most of the time the data list will be quite short, so the cost of
doing the sting comparisons is likely similar to that of the quark
hashtable lookup (which does at least one string comparison for a
successfull lookup).
