iio_dev->mlock is to be used only by the IIO core for protecting
device mode changes between INDIO_DIRECT and INDIO_BUFFER.

This patch replaces the use of mlock with the already established
buf_lock mutex.

You can't do it this simply as it will cause deadlock due to nested
locking of the buf_lock.

To share the lock you will need to provide unlocked versions of
the read and write functions and use those if the lock has already been
taken.
