Add locking to `vf610_gpio_direction_input|output()` functions. Without this locking, a race condition exists between concurrent calls to these functions, potentially leading to incorrect GPIO direction settings. To verify the correctness of this fix, a `trylock` patch was applied, where after a couple of reboots the race was confirmed. I.e., one user had to wait before acquiring the lock. With this patch the race has not been encountered. It's worth mentioning that any type of debugging (printing, tracing, etc.) would "resolve"/hide the issue.
