[PATCH v2] rpmsg: mtk_rpmsg: Fix circular locking dependency

[AngeloGioacchino Del Regno]

During execution of the worker that's used to register rpmsg devices
we are safely locking the channels mutex but, when creating a new
endpoint for such devices, we are registering a IPI on the SCP, which
then makes the SCP to trigger an interrupt, lock its own mutex and in
turn register more subdevices.
This creates a circular locking dependency situation, as the mtk_rpmsg
channels_lock will then depend on the SCP IPI lock.

[   18.014514]  Possible unsafe locking scenario:
[   18.014515]        CPU0                    CPU1
[   18.014517]        ----                    ----
[   18.045467]   lock(&mtk_subdev->channels_lock);
[   18.045474]                                lock(&scp->ipi_desc[i].lock);
[   18.228399]                                lock(&mtk_subdev->channels_lock);
[   18.228405]   lock(&scp->ipi_desc[i].lock);
[   18.264405]

To solve this, simply unlock the channels_lock mutex before calling
mtk_rpmsg_register_device() and relock it right after, as safety is
still ensured by the locking mechanism that happens right after
through SCP.
