Subject: [PATCH] atm/fore200e: Fix possible data race in fore200e_open()

Protect access to fore200e->available_cell_rate with rate_mtx lock to
prevent potential data race.

The field fore200e.available_cell_rate is generally protected by the lock
fore200e.rate_mtx when accessed. In all other read and write cases, this
field is consistently protected by the lock, except for this case and
during initialization.

This potential bug was detected by our experimental static analysis tool,
which analyzes locking APIs and paired functions to identify data races
and atomicity violations.
