firewire: core: fix race with parallel PCI device probe
The config ROM buffer received from generate_config_rom is a globally
shared static buffer. Extend the card_mutex protection in fw_add_card
until after the config ROM was copied into the card driver's buffer.
Otherwise, parallelized card driver probes may end up with ROM contents
that were meant for a different card.
firewire-ohci's card->driver->enable hook is safe to be called within
the card_mutex. Furthermore, it is safe to reorder card_list update
versus card enable, which simplifies the code a little.
