ks8851: Fix mutex deadlock in ks8851_net_stop()

There is a potential deadlock scenario when the ks8851 driver
is removed. The interrupt handler schedules a workqueue which
acquires a mutex that ks8851_net_stop() also acquires before
flushing the workqueue. Previously lockdep wouldn't be able
to find this problem but now that it has the support we can
trigger this lockdep warning by rmmoding the driver after
an ifconfig up.

Fix the possible deadlock by disabling the interrupts in
the chip and then release the lock across the workqueue
flushing. The mutex is only there to proect the registers
anyway so this should be ok.
