[PATCH v3 2/5] 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. I.e. 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.
