Subject: [PATCH] media: rc: Add missing locking for keymap

When the rc_map for an rc_dev gets updated, locking is required but is
missing in places. A concurrent scancode lookup and a call to
rc_{register,unregistered}_device() could result in a use-after-free;
this could happen if IR is decoded during those function calls.

Add lockdep assertions where locks are required.

ir_free_table() should only be called for non-TX devices else we will
use a spinlock without iniitializing it.
