Subject: [PATCH net 3/5] ixgbe: initialize aci.lock before it's used

From: Jedrzej Jagielski <jedrzej.jagielski@...el.com>

Currently aci.lock is initialized too late. A bunch of ACI callbacks
using the lock are called prior it's initialized.

Commit 337369f8ce9e ("locking/mutex: Add MUTEX_WARN_ON() into fast path")
highlights that issue what results in call trace.

Move aci.lock mutex initialization to ixgbe_sw_init() before any ACI
command is sent. Along with that move also related SWFW semaphore in
order to reduce size of ixgbe_probe() and that way all locks are
initialized in ixgbe_sw_init().
