Re: [PATCH] cxgb3: Don't call cxgb_vlan_mode until q locks are initialized

The driver calls cxgb_vlan_mode() from init_one().  This calls into
synchronize_rx(), which locks all the q locks, but the q locks are not
initialized until cxgb_up() -> setup_sge_qsets().  So move the call to
cxgb_vlan_mode() into cxgb_up(), after the call to setup_sge_qsets().
We also move the body of these functions up higher to avoid having to
a forward declaration.

This was found because of the lockdep warning:
 ...
Contrary to what lockdep says, the code is not fine: we are locking an
uninitialized spinlock.

Applied, thanks.
