It's the same mistake already had been told many times, do not add blank line
to the coupled statements (usually assignment followed by a check).

And looking at the code, it's rather better to have this lock inside
sps30_do_meas() (it might require to create a locked wrapper as
sps30_do_meas() while renaming the current one to __sps30_do_meas()
to clarify locking rules).
