[PATCH net-next] cxgb4: Initialize mbox lock and list for mgmt dev

From: Ganesh Goudar <hidden>
Date: 2017-01-12 06:53:24

Initialize mbox lock and list for mgmt dev to avoid NULL pointer
dereference when cxgb_set_vf_mac is called.

And also allocate memory for private data while allocating mgmt
netdev.
