media: venus: core: handle race condititon for core ops



For core ops we are having only write protect but there
is no read protect, because of this in multithreading
and concurrency, one CPU core is reading without wait
which is causing the NULL pointer dereferece crash.

one such scenario is as show below, where in one CPU
core, core->ops becoming NULL and in another CPU core
calling core->ops->session_init().

CPU: core-7:
Call trace:
