Subject: [PATCH] hwmon: pmbus: protect read-modify-write with lock

The operation done in the pmbus_update_fan() function is a
read-modify-write operation but it lacks any kind of lock protection
which may cause problems if run more than once simultaneously. This
patch uses an existing update_lock mutex to fix this problem.
