[media] media: rc: fix deadlock when module ir_lirc_codec is removed
When removing module ir_lirc_codec I got this deadlock warning.
Fix this by introducing a separate mutex to protect access
to available_protocols instead of using ir_raw_handler_lock
for this purpose.

rmmod/2542 is trying to acquire lock:

but task is already holding lock:
(ir_raw_handler_lock){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffffa03b1212>]
ir_raw_handler_unregister+0x22/0xd0 [rc_core]
which lock already depends on the new lock.
