[PATCH] i2c-algo-bit: Added the bus lock during a i2c transaction

[Anindya Sundar Gayen]

Earlier i2c-bus lock was not available to i2c-algo-bit driver
for that reason if there are back to back i2c transaction occurs
it may be possible to occur a race condition.

To avoid the race condition we added a mutex lock mechanism which will
help to protect the i2c_outb()with a proper lock.
