There're possibilities that privacy status change notification happens in the middle of the ongoing mei command which already takes the command lock, but v4l2_ctrl_s_ctrl() would also need the same lock prior to this patch, so this may results in circular locking problem. This patch adds one dedicated lock for v4l2 control handler to avoid described issue.
