net/mlx4_core: Protect port type setting by mutex
We need to protect set_port_type() for concurrency, as the sysfs code could call it from mutliple contexts in parallel. The port_mutex is not enough because we need to protect from concurrent modification of 'info' and stopping of the port sensing work.
