w1: introduce a slave mutex for serializing IO
w1 devices need a mutex to serial IO. Most use master->mutex. However that is used for other purposes and they can conflict. In particular master->mutex is held while w1_attach_slave_device is called. For bq27000, this registers a 'powersupply' device which tries to read the current status. The attempt to read will cause a deadlock on master->mutex. So create a new per-slave mutex and use that for serializing IO for bq27000.
