We are locking iio mutex (iio_device_claim_direct_mode) after locking our internal mutex. But when the buffer starts, iio first locks its mutex and then we lock our internal one. To avoid possible deadlock, we need to use the same order everwhere. So we change the ordering by locking first iio mutex, then our internal mutex.
