Subject: gpio: pca953x: Move memcpy into mutex lock for set multiple

From: Phil Reid <[email protected]>

commit 386377b5473043c09b2de40bfe5abfb0fc87e1b4 upstream.

Need to ensure that reg_output is not updated while setting multiple bits. This makes the mutex locking behaviour for the set_multiple call consistent with that of the set_value call.
