Subject: [PATCH 2/4] MFD: pcf50633-adc: Fix potential race pcf50633_adc_sync_read

Currently it's not guaranteed that request struct is not already freed when
reading from it. Fix this by moving synced request related fields from the
pcf50633_adc_request struct to its own struct and store it on the functions
stack.
