[PATCH] avr32: fix deadlock when reading clock list in debugfs

[Ole Henrik Jahren]

When writing out /sys/kernel/debug/at32ap_clk, clock list lock is being
held while clk_get() is called. clk_get() attempts to take the same
lock, which results in deadlock. Introduce and call lock free version,
__clk_get(), instead.
