The chip smi_mutex mutex is used to protect the access to the internal
switch registers, not only the Multi-chip Addressing Mode, as commented.

Other registers access (like management frames) may use this mutex.

Since we will isolate SMI-specific pieces of code, avoid the confusion
now by renaming smi_mutex to reg_lock. No functional changes here.
