[ldv-project] [PATCH] e1000e: fix mismatch in mutex lock-unlock in e1000_reset_hw_82571()

If e1000_get_hw_semaphore_82574() succeed, it acquires swflag_mutex,
otherwise it does not. But the returned value of
e1000_get_hw_semaphore_82574() is ignored, so unlocking of swflag_mutex
happens anyway.

The patch fixes the issue by breaking reset if MIC ownership is not acquired.
