Subject: [RFC] staging: iio: ad7759: Replace mlock with driver private
 buf_lock

The IIO subsystem is redefining iio_dev->mlock to be used by
the IIO core only for protecting device operating mode changes.
ie. Changes between INDIO_DIRECT_MODE, INDIO_BUFFER_* modes.

In this driver, mlock was being used to protect hardware state
changes.  Replace it with a buf_lock in the devices global data.
