Bryan O'Donoghue fece9c87cb greybus: Ensure gb->mutex is held when adding timer
Currently in loopback on the async path we issue an operation and then add
a timer to time-out that operation should it fail to complete. Looking at a
backtrace given in its feasible op_async->pending can be true and
del_timer() can run before add_timer() has run. In the callback handler we
already hold gb->mutex. This patch fixes that potential race by ensuring we
hold gb->mutex both when we are adding and when we are removing the
relevant timer.
