[PATCH] net: stmmac: Use mutex instead of spinlock

From: Thierry Reding Some drivers, such as DWC EQOS on Tegra, need to perform operations that can sleep under this lock (clk_set_rate() in tegra_eqos_fix_speed()) for proper operation. Since there is no need for this lock to be a spinlock, convert it to a mutex instead.
