media: atmel: atmel-isc-base: use mutex to lock awb workq from streaming
The AWB workqueue runs in a kernel thread and needs to be synchronized w.r.t. the streaming status. It is possible that streaming is stopped while the AWB workq is running. In this case it is likely that the check for vb2_start_streaming_called is done at one point in time, but the AWB computations are done later, including a call to isc_update_profile, which requires streaming to be started. Thus , isc_update_profile will fail if during this operation sequence the streaming was stopped. To solve this issue, a mutex is added, that will serialize the awb work and streaming stopping, with the mention that either streaming is stopped completely including termination of the last frame is done, and after that the AWB work can check stream status and stop; either first AWB work is completed and after that the streaming can stop correctly. The awb spin lock cannot be used since this spinlock is taken in the same context and using it in the stop streaming will result in a recursion BUG.
