Subject: [PATCH 16/17] wifi: mt76: mt7925: add mutex protection in resume path

Add mutex protection around mt7925_mcu_set_deep_sleep() and
mt7925_mcu_regd_update() calls in the resume path to prevent
potential race conditions during resume operations.

These MCU operations require serialization, and the resume
path was the only call site missing mutex protection. Without
this, concurrent access during resume could corrupt firmware
state or cause race conditions with other MCU commands.

Found by static analysis (sparse/coccinelle) pattern matching
for unprotected MCU function calls.
