3.5.7u1 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Haojian Zhuang <haojian.zhuang@gmail.com>

commit 7ae9d71e8df27a3ab60a05ae3add08728debc09c upstream.

Mutex is locked duplicatly by pinconf_groups_show() and
pin_config_group_get(). It results dead lock. So avoid to lock mutex
in pinconf_groups_show().
