The list of buffers (`rzv2h_ivc::buffers.queue`) is protected by a
spinlock (`rzv2h_ivc::buffers.lock`). However, in
`rzv2h_ivc_transfer_buffer()`, which runs in a separate workqueue, the
`list_del()` call is executed without holding the spinlock, which makes
it possible for the list to be concurrently modified

Fix that by removing a buffer from the list in the lock protected section.
