net/mlx5e: Reduce eswitch mode_lock protection context
Currently eswitch mode_lock is so heavy, for example, it's locked during the whole process of the mode change, which may need to hold other locks. As the mode_lock is also used by IPSec to block mode and encap change now, it is easy to cause lock dependency. Since some of protections are also done by devlink lock, the eswitch mode_lock is not needed at those places, and thus the possibility of lockdep issue is reduced.
