This patch changes the spinlock to mutex for the available fakelb phy
list. When holding the spinlock the ieee802154_unregister_hw is called
which holding the rtnl_mutex, in that case we get a "BUG: sleeping function
called from invalid context" error. We simple change the spinlock to
mutex which allows to hold the rtnl lock there.

I think for the current use case, we don't need any locking anyway, but when
we add support for runtime add/del phy's then we need it... so I let the lock
there.
