tg3: Add APE register access locking
If the driver resets the chip while the APE is performing a register
access, that register access will never complete and the APE will hang
indefinitely. To prevent this race condition, the driver must acquire
an APE mutex before resetting the chip. The APE will not attempt a
register access until it acquires this lock.
