cnic: Fix locking in start/stop calls.

The slow path ulp_start and ulp_stop calls to the bnx2i driver
are sleepable calls and therefore should not be protected using
rcu_read_lock.  Fix it by using mutex and setting a bit during
these calls.  cnic_unregister_device() will now wait for the bit
to clear before completing the call.
