misc: open-dice: Fix spurious lockdep warning
[ Upstream commit ac9762a74c7ca7cbfcb4c65f5871373653a046ac ]
When probing the open-dice driver with PROVE_LOCKING=y, lockdep
complains that the mutex in 'drvdata->lock' has a non-static key:
| INFO: trying to register non-static key.
| The code is fine but needs lockdep annotation, or maybe
| you didn't initialize this object before use?
| turning off the locking correctness validator.
Fix the problem by initialising the mutex memory with mutex_init()
instead of __MUTEX_INITIALIZER().
