3c59x: Remove incorrect locking; correct documented lock hierarchy
vortex_ioctl() was grabbing vortex_private::lock around its call to
generic_mii_ioctl(). This is no longer necessary since there are more
specific locks which the mdio_{read,write}() functions will obtain.
Worse, those functions do not save and restore IRQ flags when locking
the MII state, so interrupts will be enabled when generic_mii_ioctl()
returns.
Since there is currently no need for any function to call
mdio_{read,write}() while holding another spinlock, do not change them
to save and restore IRQ flags but remove the specification of ordering
between vortex_private::lock and vortex_private::mii_lock.
