[media] imon: add conditional locking in change_protocol
The imon_ir_change_protocol function gets called two different ways, one
way is from rc_register_device, for initial protocol selection/setup,
and the other is via a userspace-initiated protocol change request,
either by direct sysfs prodding or by something like ir-keytable.
In the rc_register_device case, the imon context lock is already held,
but when initiated from userspace, it is not, so we must acquire it,
prior to calling send_packet, which requires that the lock is held.
Without this change, there's an easily reproduceable deadlock when
another function calls send_packet (such as either of the display write
fops) after a userspace-initiated change_protocol.
With a lock-debugging-enabled kernel, I was getting this:

Bump the driver version here so its easier to tell if people have this
locking fix or not, and also make locking during probe easier to follow.
