[PATCH v1 2/5] coresight: Protect unregistration with mutex

The device registration is protected by CoreSight mutex to ensure the
atomic operations when adding a device onto bus.  One the other hand,
the locking is absent when unregister a device.

Use mutex to ensure atomicity on device unregistration.  During
unregistration, unbinding the associated CTI device is not included in
the locking region, as CTI has its own locking mechanism.
