[PATCH v3 17/23] media: atmel: atmel-isc-base: use mutex to lock awb workqueue from streaming

Eugen Hristev

The AWB workqueue runs in a kernel thread and needs to be synchronized
w.r.t. the streaming status.
It is possible that streaming is stopped while the AWB workq is running.
In this case it is likely that the check for isc->stop is done at one point
in time, but the AWB computations are done later, including a call to
isc_update_profile, which requires streaming to be started.
Thus , isc_update_profile will fail if during this operation sequence the
streaming was stopped.
To solve this issue, a mutex is added, that will serialize the awb work and
streaming stopping, with the mention that either streaming is stopped
completely including termination of the last frame is done, and after that
the AWB work can check stream status and stop; either first AWB work is
completed and after that the streaming can stop correctly.
The awb spin lock cannot be used since this spinlock is taken in the same
context and using it in the stop streaming will result in a recursion BUG.
