Ouch, while I like the concept of having one i2c_algorithm per mux,
this patch is not working. Various i2c-mux drivers set the
muxc->mux_locked variable *after* the i2c_mux_alloc call, and this
patch breaks such use.

So, the patch needs some reworking. Sorry for not noticing this
earlier.

Cheers,
Peter
