rpmsg: ctrl: Add lock to rpmsg_ctrldev_remove

Call to rpmsg_ctrldev_ioctl() and rpmsg_ctrldev_remove() must be synchronized.
In present code rpmsg_ctrldev_remove() is not protected with lock, therefore
new char device creation can succeed through rpmsg_ctrldev_ioctl() call. At the
same time call to rpmsg_ctrldev_remove() function for ctrl device removal will
free associated rpdev device. As char device creation already succeeded, user
space is free to issue open() call which maps to rpmsg_create_ept() in kernel.
rpmsg_create_ept() function tries to reference rpdev which has already been
freed through rpmsg_ctrldev_remove(). Issue is predominantly seen in aggressive
reboot tests where rpmsg_ctrldev_ioctl() and rpmsg_ctrldev_remove() can race with
each other.

Adding lock in rpmsg_ctrldev_remove() avoids any new char device creation
through rpmsg_ctrldev_ioctl() while remove call is already in progress.
