ieee1394: raw1394: make write() thread-safe

Application programs should use a libraw1394 handle only in a single
thread.  The raw1394 driver was apparently relying on this, because it
did nothing to protect its fi->state variable from corruption due to
concurrent accesses.

We now serialize the fi->state accesses.  This affects the write() path.
We re-use the state_mutex which was introduced to protect fi->iso_state
accesses in the ioctl() path.  These paths and accesses are independent
of each other, hence separate mutexes could be used.  But I don't see
much benefit in that.
