cs_dsp_signal_event_controls() calls cs_dsp_coeff_write_acked_control()
which has lockdep_assert_held(&dsp->pwr_lock), but the lock is not held.

cs_dsp_signal_event_controls() is invoked from cs_dsp_stop().

Put mutex_lock() at the top of cs_dsp_stop() to fix the
missing lock protection, also align with cs_dsp_run().

v2:
- Put mutex_lock() at the top of cs_dsp_stop() to fix and align with cs_dsp_run()

Nitpick: Commit title "fix missing pwr_lock in cs_dsp_stop()", it's
not missing. Just in the wrong place.
