Subject[10/55] hwmon: (max1111) Fix race condition causing NULL pointer exception
2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Pavel Herrmann <morpheus.ibis@gmail.com>

commit d3f684f2820a7f42acef68bea6622d9032127fb2 upstream.

spi_sync call uses its spi_message parameter to keep completion information,
using a drvdata structure is not thread-safe. Use a mutex to prevent
multiple access to shared driver data.
