lan743x: fix "BUG: invalid wait context" when setting rx mode
In the net core, the struct net_device_ops -> ndo_set_rx_mode() callback is called with the dev->addr_list_lock spinlock held. However, this driver's ndo_set_rx_mode callback eventually calls lan743x_dp_write(), which acquires a mutex. Mutex acquisition may sleep, and this is not allowed when holding a spinlock. Fix by removing the dp_lock mutex entirely. Its purpose is to prevent concurrent accesses to the data port. No concurrent accesses are possible, because the dev->addr_list_lock spinlock in the core only lets through one thread at a time.
