Subject: [PATCH] gpio: vf610: add locking to gpio direction functions

Add locking to `vf610_gpio_direction_input|output()` functions. Without
this locking, a race condition exists between concurrent calls to these
functions, potentially leading to incorrect GPIO direction settings.

To verify the correctness of this fix, a `trylock` patch was applied,
where after a couple of reboots the race was confirmed. I.e., one user
had to wait before acquiring the lock. With this patch the race has not
been encountered. It's worth mentioning that any type of debugging
(printing, tracing, etc.) would "resolve"/hide the issue.
