[PATCH] misc: fastrpc: Fix race condition in MUNMAP

fastrpc_req_munmap involves two steps to unmap memory, first to locates
a matching fastrpc buf in the list and second is to send request to DSP
to unmap. There is a potential race condition between two operations
which can lead to user-after-free scenario.
Lock unmap request to avoid use-after-free.
