pinctrl: Fix two deadlocks

This patch is to fix two deadlock cases.
Deadlock 1:
CPU #1
 pinctrl_register-> pinctrl_get ->
 create_pinctrl
 (Holding lock pinctrl_maps_mutex)
 -> get_pinctrl_dev_from_devname
 (Trying to acquire lock pinctrldev_list_mutex)
CPU #0
 pinctrl_unregister
 (Holding lock pinctrldev_list_mutex)
 -> pinctrl_put ->> pinctrl_free ->
 pinctrl_dt_free_maps -> pinctrl_unregister_map
 (Trying to acquire lock pinctrl_maps_mutex)

Simply to say
CPU#1 is holding lock A and trying to acquire lock B,
CPU#0 is holding lock B and trying to acquire lock A.

Deadlock 2:
CPU #3
 pinctrl_register-> pinctrl_get ->
 create_pinctrl
 (Holding lock pinctrl_maps_mutex)
 -> get_pinctrl_dev_from_devname
 (Trying to acquire lock pinctrldev_list_mutex)
CPU #2
 pinctrl_unregister
 (Holding lock pctldev->mutex)
 -> pinctrl_put ->> pinctrl_free ->
 pinctrl_dt_free_maps -> pinctrl_unregister_map
 (Trying to acquire lock pinctrl_maps_mutex)
CPU #0
 tegra_gpio_request
 (Holding lock pinctrldev_list_mutex)
 -> pinctrl_get_device_gpio_range
 (Trying to acquire lock pctldev->mutex)

Simply to say
CPU#3 is holding lock A and trying to acquire lock D,
CPU#2 is holding lock B and trying to acquire lock A,
CPU#0 is holding lock D and trying to acquire lock B.
