So I think this points to the fact that iio_device_claim_direct_mode()
should not be using DEFINE_GUARD() in the first instance. I think
iio_claim_direct() really wants to be using DEFINE_CLASS() directly.
Skip usage of DEFINE_GUARD() which I now see is unable to interoperate
with a __must_check locking function.
Perhaps the new class can be something like:
DEFINE_GUARD_EXCL_COND()
...which creates a guard that is exclusively conditional and has no
unconditional flavor. However, maybe that only lives in iio unless and
until another user arrives.
