e1000e: separate mutex usage between NVM and PHY/CSR register for ICHx/PCH
Accesses to NVM and PHY/CSR registers on ICHx/PCH-based parts are protected from concurrent accesses with a mutex that is acquired when the access is initiated and released when the access has completed. However, the two types of accesses should not be protected by the same mutex because the driver may have to access the NVM while already holding the mutex over several consecutive PHY/CSR accesses which would result in livelock.
