commit 36b15875a7819a2ec4cb5748ff7096ad7bd86cbb upstream.

A bug was introduced by commit b76b51ba0cef ('ACPI / EC: Add more debug
info and trivial code cleanup') that erroneously caused the struct member
to be accessed before acquiring the required lock.  This change fixes
it by ensuring the lock acquisition is done first.
