After unlocking adap->lock in cec_claim_log_addrs(), cec_claim_log_addrs() may re-enter, causing this issue to occur. In the thread function cec_config_thread_func() adap->lock is also used, so there is no need to unlock adap->lock in cec_claim_log_addrs(), and then use adap->lock in cec_config_thread_func() to protect.
