The only purpose of i8k_ioctl() is to call i8k_ioctl_unlocked() with i8k_mutex held. Judging from the hwmon code, this mutex only needs to be held when setting the fan speed/mode, so the operation of I8K_SET_FAN is guaranteed to be atomic. Unify both functions and reduce the locking of i8k_mutex to I8K_SET_FAN. Tested on a Dell Inspiron 3505.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
