carl9170: Fix mismatch in carl9170_op_set_key mutex lock-unlock
If is_main_vif(ar, vif) reports that we have to fall back to software encryption, we goto err_softw; before locking ar->mutex. As a result, we have unprotected call to carl9170_set_operating_mode and unmatched mutex_unlock. The patch fix the issue by adding mutex_lock before goto. Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
