Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] Use "request_muxed_region" in it87 hwmon drivers

02 - Chages to hwmon it87 driver to use "request_muxed_region"
Serialize access to the hardware by using "request_muxed_region" macro defined
by Alan Cox. Call to this macro will hold off the requestor if the resource is
currently busy.
