mlx4: Replacing pool_lock with mutex
Under the spinlock we call request_irq(), which allocates memory with GFP_KERNEL,
This causes the following trace when DEBUG_SPINLOCK is enabled, it can cause
the following trace:
BUG: spinlock wrong CPU on CPU#2, ethtool/2595
lock: ffff8801f9cbc2b0, .magic: dead4ead, .owner: ethtool/2595, .owner_cpu: 0
Pid: 2595, comm: ethtool Not tainted 3.0.18 #2

Replacing with mutex, which is enough in this case.
