Subject: [PATCH] misc: open-dice: Fix spurious lockdep warning

When probing the open-dice driver with PROVE_LOCKING=y, lockdep
complains that the mutex in 'drvdata->lock' has a non-static key:

 | INFO: trying to register non-static key.
 | The code is fine but needs lockdep annotation, or maybe
 | you didn't initialize this object before use?
 | turning off the locking correctness validator.

Fix the problem by initialising the mutex memory with mutex_init()
instead of __MUTEX_INITIALIZER().
