rtl8187: Fix NULL pointer dereference in priv->conf_mutex
This can be reproduced by bind/unbind the driver multiple times
in AM3517 board.
Analysis revealed that rtl8187_start() was invoked before probe
finishes(ie. before the mutex is initialized).
INFO: trying to register non-static key.
the code is fine but needs lockdep annotation.
turning off the locking correctness validator.
