Subject: [PATCH v6 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. The first call to request_muxed_region will attempt 10 times 
to reserve the region before it gives up. This will typically get called from
the driver init routines. If this succeeds then subsequent calls wait forever
for the resource to be available.
