[PATCH] drm/i915/hwmon: Fix locking inversion in sysfs getter

In i915 hwmon sysfs getter path we now take a hwmon_lock, then acquire an
rpm wakeref.  That results in lock inversion:

However, the lock is only intended to protect either a hwmon overflow
counter or rmw hardware operations.  There is no need to hold the lock,
only the wakeref, while reading from hardware.

Acquire the lock after hardware read under rpm wakeref.
