staging: IIO: Fix uses of spinlocks prior to init in ring implementations

Some confusion was caused by the ___iio_init_ring_buffer and equivalent
in ring_sw handling both init of spin locks etc and allocation and
of the actual buffer.  This resulted in ring->use_lock being held
before it was initialized and actually during the initialization.

Some of the recent cleanups in the spin lock code seem to have triggered
the bug actually causing traceable crashes.

The following patch should fix this but hasn't been extensively tested
as of yet and there may well be some side effects I haven't thought of.
Just wanted to get this out there before anyone else runs into it!
