The PTP Hardware Clock (PHC) subsystem offers an API for configuring
programmable pins.  User space sets or gets the settings using ioctls,
and drivers verify dialed settings via a callback.  Drivers may also
query pin settings by calling the ptp_find_pin() method.

Although the core subsystem protects concurrent access to the pin
settings, the implementation places illogical restrictions on how
drivers may call ptp_find_pin().  When enabling an auxiliary function
via the .enable(on=1) callback, drivers may invoke the pin finding
method, but when disabling with .enable(on=0) drivers are not
permitted to do so.  With the exception of the mv88e6xxx, all of the
PHC drivers do respect this restriction, but still the locking pattern
is both confusing and unnecessary.

This patch changes the locking implementation to allow PHC drivers to
freely call ptp_find_pin() from their .enable() and .verify()
callbacks.
