i3c: Use i3cdev->desc->info instead of calling i3c_device_get_info() to avoid deadlock

Type: advisorySources: OSV

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: i3c: Use i3cdev->desc->info instead of calling i3c_device_get_info() to avoid deadlock A deadlock may happen since the i3c_master_register() acquires &i3cbus->lock twice.
