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. Replace it with a lock in the devices global data.
