hwmon: (pmbus/isl68137) Add mutex protection for AVS enable sysfs attributes
The custom avs0_enable and avs1_enable sysfs attributes access PMBus registers through the exported API helpers (pmbus_read_byte_data, pmbus_read_word_data, pmbus_write_word_data, pmbus_update_byte_data) without holding the PMBus update_lock mutex. These exported helpers do not acquire the mutex internally, unlike the core's internal callers which hold the lock before invoking them. The store callback is especially vulnerable: it performs a multi-step read-modify-write sequence (read VOUT_COMMAND, write VOUT_COMMAND, then update OPERATION) where concurrent access from another thread could interleave and corrupt the register state. Add pmbus_lock_interruptible()/pmbus_unlock() around both the show and store callbacks to serialize PMBus register access with the rest of the driver.
