staging: pi433: fix race condition in pi433_ioctl



In the PI433_IOC_WR_TX_CFG case in pi433_ioctl, instance->tx_cfg is
modified via

copy_from_user(&instance->tx_cfg, argp, sizeof(struct pi433_tx_cfg)))

without any kind of synchronization. In the case where two threads
would execute this same command concurrently the tx_cfg field might
enter in an inconsistent state.

Additionally: if ioctl(PI433_IOC_WR_TX_CFG) and write() execute
concurrently the tx config might be modified while it is being
copied to the fifo, resulting in potential data corruption.

Fix: Get instance->tx_cfg_lock before modifying tx config in the
PI433_IOC_WR_TX_CFG case in pi433_ioctl.

Also, do not copy data directly from user space to instance->tx_cfg.
Instead use a temporary buffer allowing future checks for correctness
of copied data and simpler code.
