Subject: [PATCH] drivers/media/rc: Fix a race condition in send_packet()

The function send_packet() has a race condition as follows:
func send_packet()
{
// do work
call usb_submit_urb()
mutex_unlock()
wait_for_event_interruptible() <-- lock gone
mutex_lock()
}

func vfd_write()
{
mutex_lock()
call send_packet() <- prev call is not completed
mutex_unlock()
}

When the mutex is unlocked and the function send_packet() waits for the
call to complete, vfd_write() can start another call, which leads to the
"URB submitted while active" warning in usb_submit_urb().
Fix this by removing the mutex_unlock() call in send_packet() and using
mutex_lock_interruptible().

Fixes: 21677cfc562a ("V4L/DVB: ir-core: add imon driver")
