msm: kgsl: Avoid race condition in ioctl_syncsource_destroy

If the ioctl syncsource_destroy is accessed by parallel
threads, where the spinlock is acquired by threads after
getting syncsource, then the simultaneous processes try
to remove the already destroyed syncsource->refcount by
the first thread that acquires this spinlock. This leads
to race condition while removing syncsource->idr.

Avoid separate lock inside getting syncsource, instead
acquire spinlock before we get the syncsource in
destroy ioctl so that the threads access the spinlock
and operate on syncsource without use-after-free issue.
