Detected by kernel circular locking dependency checker.
We are locking iio mutex (iio_device_claim_direct_mode) after
locking our internal mutex. But when the buffer starts, iio first
locks its mutex and then we lock our internal one.
To avoid possible deadlock, we need to use the same order
everwhere. So we change the ordering by locking first iio mutex,
then our internal mutex.
Fixes: 68cd6e5b20 ("iio: imu: inv_mpu6050: fix lock issues by using our own mutex")

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
