Subject: [PATCH net] ice: Fix incorrect locking in ice_vc_process_vf_msg()

Usage of mutex_trylock() in ice_vc_process_vf_msg() is incorrect
because message sent from VF is ignored and never processed.

Use mutex_lock() instead to fix the issue. It is safe because this
mutex is used to prevent races between VF related NDOs and
handlers processing request messages from VF and these handlers
are running in ice_service_task() context.

Fixes: e6ba5273d4ed ("ice: Fix race conditions between virtchnl handling and VF ndo ops")
