The quad8_action_read() function checks the Count function mode and
Count direction without first acquiring a lock. This is a race condition
because the function mode could change by the time the direction is
checked.
Because the quad8_function_read() already acquires a lock internally,
the quad8_function_read() is refactored to spin out the no-lock code to
a new quad8_function_get() function.
To resolve the race condition in quad8_action_read(), a lock is acquired
before calling quad8_function_get() and quad8_direction_read() in order
to get both function mode and direction atomically.
