A race condition is possible when writing to events_queue_size where the
events kfifo is freed during the execution of a kfifo_in(), resulting in
a use-after-free. This patch prevents such a scenario by protecting the
events queue in operation with a spinlock and locking before performing
the events queue size adjustment.
The existing events_lock mutex is renamed to events_out_lock to reflect
that it only protects events queue out operations. Because the events
queue in operations can occur in an interrupt context, a new
events_in_lock spinlock is introduced and utilized.
