[media] rc: add locking to fix register/show race

When device_add is called in rc_register_device, the rc sysfs nodes show
up, and there's a window in which ir-keytable can be launched via udev
and trigger a show_protocols call, which runs without various rc_dev
fields filled in yet. Add some locking around registration and
store/show_protocols to prevent that from happening.

The problem manifests thusly:

Its a bit difficult to reproduce, but I'm fairly confident this has
fixed the problem.
