Subject: [PATCH] iio: cros_ec: fix an use-after-free in
 cros_ec_sensors_push_data()

cros_ec_sensors_push_data() reads `indio_dev->active_scan_mask` and
calls iio_push_to_buffers_with_timestamp() without making sure the
`indio_dev` stays in buffer mode.  There is a race if `indio_dev` exits
buffer mode right before cros_ec_sensors_push_data() accesses them.

An use-after-free on `indio_dev->active_scan_mask` was observed.  The
call trace:
[...]
 _find_next_bit
 cros_ec_sensors_push_data
 cros_ec_sensorhub_event
 blocking_notifier_call_chain
 cros_ec_irq_thread

It was caused by a race condition: one thread just freed
`active_scan_mask` at [1]; while another thread tried to access the
memory at [2].

Fix it by calling iio_device_claim_buffer_mode() to ensure the
`indio_dev` can't exit buffer mode during cros_ec_sensors_push_data().
