max98090_interrupt() and max98090_pll_work() run in 2 different threads.
There are 2 possible races:

Note: M98090_REG_DEVICE_STATUS = 0x01.
Note: ULK == 0, PLL is locked; ULK == 1, PLL is unlocked.

max98090_interrupt      max98090_pll_work
----------------------------------------------
schedule max98090_pll_work
                        restart max98090 codec
receive ULK INT
                        assert ULK == 0
schedule max98090_pll_work (1).

In the case (1), the PLL is locked but max98090_interrupt unnecessarily
schedules another max98090_pll_work.

max98090_interrupt      max98090_pll_work      max98090 codec
----------------------------------------------------------------------
                                               ULK = 1
receive ULK INT
read 0x01
                                               ULK = 0 (clear on read)
schedule max98090_pll_work
                        restart max98090 codec
                                               ULK = 1
receive ULK INT
read 0x01
                                               ULK = 0 (clear on read)
                        read 0x01
                        assert ULK == 0 (2).

In the case (2), both max98090_interrupt and max98090_pll_work read
the same clear-on-read register.  max98090_pll_work would falsely
thought PLL is locked.
Note: the case (2) race is introduced by the previous commit ("ASoC:
max98090: exit workaround earlier if PLL is locked") to check the status
and exit the loop earlier in max98090_pll_work.

There are 2 possible solution options:
A. turn off ULK interrupt before scheduling max98090_pll_work; and turn
on again before exiting max98090_pll_work.
B. remove the second thread of execution.

Option A cannot fix the case (2) race because it still has 2 threads
access the same clear-on-read register simultaneously.  Although we
could suppose the register is volatile and read the status via I2C could
be much slower than the hardware raises the bits.

Option B introduces a maximum 10~12 msec penalty delay in the interrupt
handler.  However, it could only punish the jack detection by extra
10~12 msec.

Adopts option B which is the better solution overall.
