Protect WP accesses such that multiple threads queueing buffers for
incoming data do not race and access the same WP twice. Ensure read and
write locks for the channel are not taken in succession by dropping the
read lock from parse_xfer_event() such that a callback given to client
can potentially queue buffers and acquire the write lock in that process.
Any queueing of buffers should be done without channel read lock acquired
as it can result in multiple locks and a soft lockup.

This doesn't work due to the write_lock_irqsave(&mhi_chan->lock, flags); on line 591.

I really don't like that we are unlocking the mhi_chan while still using it. It opens up a window where the mhi_chan state can be updated between here and the client using the callback to queue a buf.

Perhaps we need a new lock that just protects the wp, and needs to be only grabbed while mhi_chan->lock is held?
