[PATCH 04/13] eeprom: at24: make locking more fine-grained

[Bartosz Golaszewski]

The only field in struct at24_data that needs locking in the module
code is u8 *writebuf. Other data is already protected by i2c core.

Rename the lock in at24_data to wrbuf_lock and only use it where
writebuf is accessed.
