There is a race if `indio_dev` exits buffer mode right before cros_ec_sensors_push_data() accesses them. An use-after-free on `indio_dev->active_scan_mask` was observed. The call trace: [...] _find_next_bit cros_ec_sensors_push_data cros_ec_sensorhub_event blocking_notifier_call_chain cros_ec_irq_thread It was caused by a race condition: one thread just freed `active_scan_mask` at [1]; while another thread tried to access the memory at [2]. Fix it by calling iio_device_claim_buffer_mode() to ensure the `indio_dev` can't exit buffer mode during cros_ec_sensors_push_data().
