The IIO subsystem is redefining iio_dev->mlock to be used by the IIO core only for protecting device operating mode changes. ie. Changes between INDIO_DIRECT_MODE, INDIO_BUFFER_* modes. In this driver, mlock was being used to protect hardware state changes. In the driver, buf_lock protects both the adis16060_spi_write() and adis16060_spi_read() functions and both are always called in pair. First write, then read. Refactor the code to have one single function adis16060_spi_write_then_read() protected by the buf_lock. This removes the need for additional locking via mlock, so this locking is removed.
