File-scope "__pmic_glink_lock" mutex protects the filke-scope "__pmic_glink", thus reference to it should be obtained under the lock, just like pmic_glink_rpmsg_remove() is doing. Otherwise we have a race during if PMIC GLINK device removal: the pmic_glink_rpmsg_probe() function could store local reference before mutex in driver removal is acquired.
