media: imon: Fix race getting ictx->lock
[ Upstream commit 24147897507cd3a7d63745d1518a638bf4132238 ]
Lets fix a race between mutex_is_lock() and mutex_lock().
<-mutex is not locked
if (!mutex_is_locked(&ictx->lock)) {
unlock = true; <- mutex is locked externaly
mutex_lock(&ictx->lock);
}
Let's use mutex_trylock() that does mutex_is_lock() and mutex_lock()
atomically.
Fix the following cocci warning:
drivers/media/rc/imon.c:1167:1-7: preceding lock on line 1153
