With commit 39c024b51b560 ("iio: adis16475: improve sync scale mode handling"), two deadlocks were introduced:

  1. The call to 'adis_write_reg_16()' was not changed to it's unlocked version.
  2. The lock was not being released on the success path of the function.

This change fixes both these issues.
