hwmon: (max16065) Use local variable to avoid TOCTOU
commit b8d5acd upstream.
In max16065_current_show, data->curr_sense is read twice: once for the
error check and again for the calculation. Since
i2c_smbus_read_byte_data returns negative error codes on failure, if the
data changes to an error code between the check and the use, ADC_TO_CURR
results in an incorrect calculation.
Read data->curr_sense into a local variable to ensure consistency. Note
that data->curr_gain is constant and safe to access directly.
This aligns max16065_current_show with max16065_input_show, which
already uses a local variable for the same reason.
