[media] media: rc: fix deadlock when module ir_lirc_codec is removed



When removing module ir_lirc_codec I got this deadlock warning.
Fix this by introducing a separate mutex to protect access
to available_protocols instead of using ir_raw_handler_lock
for this purpose.

======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
4.7.0-next-20160729 #1 Not tainted
-------------------------------------------------------
rmmod/2542 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&dev->lock){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffffa03b1267>]
			ir_raw_handler_unregister+0x77/0xd0 [rc_core]

but task is already holding lock:
 (ir_raw_handler_lock){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffffa03b1212>]
			ir_raw_handler_unregister+0x22/0xd0 [rc_core]

which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

other info that might help us debug this:

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

                               lock(&dev->lock);
                               lock(ir_raw_handler_lock);
  lock(&dev->lock);
