hwmon: (adm1029) Add locking to avoid TOCTOU

The function fan_show checks shared data for zero or invalid values
before using it as a divisor. These accesses are currently lockless. If
the data changes to zero between the check and the division, it causes a
divide-by-zero error.

Explicitly acquire the update lock around these checks and calculations
to ensure the data remains stable, preventing Time-of-Check to
Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) race conditions.
