    media: mt9m114: Fix deadlock in get_frame_interval/set_frame_interval

    Getting / Setting the frame interval using the V4L2 subdev pad ops
    get_frame_interval/set_frame_interval causes a deadlock, as the
    subdev state is locked in the [1] but also in the driver itself.

    In [2] it’s described that the caller is responsible to acquire and
    release the lock in this case. Therefore, acquiring the lock in the
    driver is wrong.

    Remove the lock acquisitions/releases from mt9m114_ifp_get_frame_interval()
    and mt9m114_ifp_set_frame_interval().
