3.11.10.5 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka at redhat.com>

commit 7b320cb1ed2dbd2c5f2a778197baf76fd6bf545a upstream.

We have few fedora bug reports about list corruption on pinctrl,
for example:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1051918

Most likely corruption happen due lack of protection of pinctrl_list
when adding new nodes to it. Patch corrects that.

Fixes: 42fed7ba44e ("pinctrl: move subsystem mutex to pinctrl_dev struct")
