[media] rc-core: don't lock device at rc_register_device()
The mutex lock at rc_register_device() was added by commit 08aeb7c9a42a
("[media] rc: add locking to fix register/show race").
It is meant to avoid race issues when trying to open a sysfs file while
the RC register didn't complete.
Adding a lock there causes troubles, as detected by the Kernel lock
debug instrumentation at the Kernel:

other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
lock(&dev->lock);
lock(s_active#171);
lock(&dev->lock);
lock(s_active#171);
*** DEADLOCK ***
3 locks held by systemd-udevd/2681:
#0: (&dev->mutex){......}, at: [<ffffffff81ce8933>] __driver_attach+0xa3/0x160
#1: (&dev->mutex){......}, at: [<ffffffff81ce8941>] __driver_attach+0xb1/0x160
#2: (&dev->lock){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffffa0724def>] rc_register_device+0xb2f/0x1450 [rc_core]
In this specific case, some error happened during device init,
causing IR to be disabled.
Let's fix it by adding a var that will tell when the device is
initialized. Any calls before that will return a -EINVAL.
That should prevent the race issues.
