staging: pi433: fix race condition in pi433_ioctl
In the PI433_IOC_WR_TX_CFG case in pi433_ioctl, instance->tx_cfg is modified via copy_from_user(&instance->tx_cfg, argp, sizeof(struct pi433_tx_cfg))) without any kind of synchronization. In the case where two threads would execute this same command concurrently the tx_cfg field might enter in an inconsistent state. Additionally: if ioctl(PI433_IOC_WR_TX_CFG) and write() execute concurrently the tx config might be modified while it is being copied to the fifo, resulting in potential data corruption. Fix: Get instance->tx_cfg_lock before modifying tx config in the PI433_IOC_WR_TX_CFG case in pi433_ioctl. Also, do not copy data directly from user space to instance->tx_cfg. Instead use a temporary buffer allowing future checks for correctness of copied data and simpler code.
