ixgbe: Add locking to prevent panic when setting sriov_numvfs to zero



It is possible to disable VFs while the PF driver is processing requests
from the VF driver.  This can result in a panic.

This can be eventually be reproduced with the following script:

while :
do
    echo 63 > /sys/class/net/<devname>/device/sriov_numvfs
    sleep 1
    echo 0 > /sys/class/net/<devname>/device/sriov_numvfs
    sleep 1
done

Add lock when disabling SR-IOV to prevent process VF mailbox communication.
