Subject: [PATCH] igb: Use a sperate mutex insead of rtnl_lock()

Commit 9474933caf21 ("igb: close/suspend race in netif_device_detach")
fixed race condition between close and power management ops by using
rtnl_lock().

This fix is a preparation for next patch, to prevent a dead lock under
rtnl_lock() when calling runtime resume routine.

However, we can't use device_lock() in igb_close() because when module
is getting removed, the lock is already held for igb_remove(), and
igb_close() gets called during unregistering the netdev, hence causing a
deadlock. So let's introduce a new mutex so we don't cause a deadlock
with driver core or netdev core.
