Commit c7eaaf6204 ("openocd: prepare for jimtcl 0.81 'expr'
syntax change") replaces the jimtcl command "expr" with an openocd
version that detects the TCL syntax change and prints a warning.
The openocd "expr" command will be dropped after v0.12.0,
One side effect is that openocd invokes polling the target after
every openocd command, causing scripts that use several "expr"
commands to run much slower; see [1].
The proper fix would require openocd to invoke polling only at the
time period deadline, instead of at each command. Such fix is too
risky to be applied now, due to short time before v0.12.0-rc1.
As a temporarily workaround, let openocd to detect the "expr"
command and skip the polling.
This will be dropped together with the openocd "expr" command.
