qlge: Fix deadlock when cancelling worker.
Removing usage of rtnl_lock() to protect firmware interface registers.
These registers are accessed in some worker threads and can create a
deadlock if rtnl_lock is taken by upper layers while the worker is still
pending.
We remove rtnl_lock and use a driver mutex just while mailboxes are
accessed.
