iio: core: add separate lockdep class for info_exist_lock

When one iio device is a consumer of another, it is possible that
the ->info_exist_lock of both ends up being taken when reading the
value of the consumer device.

Since they currently belong to the same lockdep class (being
initialized in a single location with mutex_init()), that results in a
lockdep warning

    lock(&iio_dev_opaque->info_exist_lock);
    lock(&iio_dev_opaque->info_exist_lock);

   *** DEADLOCK ***

   May be due to missing lock nesting notation

Just as the mlock_key already has its own lockdep class, add a
lock_class_key for the info_exist mutex.

Note that this has in theory been a problem since before IIO first
left staging, but it only occurs when a chain of consumers is in use
and that is not often done.
