imon: add conditional locking in change_protocol
commit 23ef710e1a6c4d6b9ef1c2fa19410f7f1479401e upstream. The imon_ir_change_protocol function gets called two different ways, one way is from rc_register_device, for initial protocol selection/setup, and the other is via a userspace-initiated protocol change request, either by direct sysfs prodding or by something like ir-keytable. In the rc_register_device case, the imon context lock is already held, but when initiated from userspace, it is not, so we must acquire it, prior to calling send_packet, which requires that the lock is held. Without this change, there's an easily reproduceable deadlock when another function calls send_packet (such as either of the display write fops) after a userspace-initiated change_protocol. With a lock-debugging-enabled kernel, I was getting this: [ 15.014153] ===================================== [ 15.015048] [ BUG: bad unlock balance detected! ] [ 15.015048] ------------------------------------- [ 15.015048] ir-keytable/773 is trying to release lock (&ictx->lock) at: [ 15.015048] [<ffffffff814c6297>] mutex_unlock+0xe/0x10 [ 15.015048] but there are no more locks to release!

Bump the driver version here so its easier to tell if people have this locking fix or not, and also make locking during probe easier to follow.
