clkdev: Fix race condition in clock lookup from device tree
There is currently a race condition in the device tree part of clk_get() function, since the pointer returned from of_clk_get_by_name() may become invalid before __clk_get() call. E.g. due to the clock provider driver remove() callback being called in between of_clk_get_by_name() and __clk_get(). Fix this by doing both the look up and __clk_get() operations with the clock providers list mutex held. This ensures that the clock pointer returned from __of_clk_get_from_provider() call and passed to __clk_get() is valid, as long as the clock supplier module first removes its clock provider instance and then does clk_unregister() on the corresponding clocks.
