alx_reinit has a lockdep assertion that the alx->mtx mutex must be held.
alx_reinit is called from two places: alx_reset and alx_change_mtu.
alx_reset does acquire alx->mtx before calling alx_reinit.
alx_change_mtu does not acquire this mutex, nor do its callers or any
path towards alx_change_mtu.
Acquire the mutex in alx_change_mtu.
The issue was introduced when the fine-grained locking was introduced
to the code to replace the RTNL. The same commit also introduced the
lockdep assertion.
Fixes: f4eba221099e ("alx: use fine-grained locking instead of RTNL")
