Subject: [PATCH 4.9 15/70] iio: adc: mcp3422: fix locking scope

From: Angelo Compagnucci <angelo.compagnucci@...il.com>

commit 3f1093d83d7164e4705e4232ccf76da54adfda85 upstream.

Locking should be held for the entire reading sequence involving setting
the channel, waiting for the channel switch and reading from the
channel.
If not, reading from a channel can result mixing with the reading from
another channel.
