Function ice_plug_aux_dev() assigns pf->adev field too early prior
aux device initialization and on other side ice_unplug_aux_dev()
starts aux device deinit and at the end assigns NULL to pf->adev.
This is wrong because pf->adev should always be non-NULL only when
aux device is fully initialized and ready. This wrong order causes
a crash when ice_send_event_to_aux() call occurs because that function
depends on non-NULL value of pf->adev and does not assume that
aux device is half-initialized or half-destroyed.
After order correction the race window is tiny but it is still there,
as Leon mentioned and manipulation with pf->adev needs to be protected
by mutex.

Fix (un-)plugging functions so pf->adev field is set after aux device
init and prior aux device destroy and protect pf->adev assignment by
new mutex. This mutex is also held during ice_send_event_to_aux()
call to ensure that aux device is valid during that call.
Note that device lock used ice_send_event_to_aux() needs to be kept
to avoid race with aux drv unload.

Reproducer:
cycle=1
while :;do
        echo "#### Cycle: $cycle"

        ip link set ens7f0 mtu 9000
        ip link add bond0 type bond mode 1 miimon 100
        ip link set bond0 up
        ifenslave bond0 ens7f0
        ip link set bond0 mtu 9000
        ethtool -L ens7f0 combined 1
        ip link del bond0
        ip link set ens7f0 mtu 1500
        sleep 1

        let cycle++
done

In short when the device is added/removed to/from bond the aux device
is unplugged/plugged. When MTU of the device is changed an event is
sent to aux device asynchronously. This can race with (un)plugging
operation and because pf->adev is set too early (plug) or too late
(unplug) the function ice_send_event_to_aux() can touch uninitialized
or destroyed fields. In the case of crash below pf->adev->dev.mutex.
