IB/ipoib: Sync between remove_one to sysfs calls that use rtnl_lock



In order to avoid deadlock between sysfs functions (like create/delete
child) and remove_one (both of them are using the sysfs lock and
rtnl_lock) the driver will use a state mutex for sync.

That will fix traces as the following:
