e1000e: Fixes possible phy corrupton on 82571 designs.
Phy corruption has been observed on 2-port 82571 adapters, and is root-caused to lack of synchronization between the 2 driver instances, which conflict when attempting to access the phy via the single MDIC register. A semaphore exists for this purpose, and is now used on these designs. Because PXE &/or EFI boot code (which we cannot expect to be built with this fix) may leave the inter-instance semaphore in an invalid initial state when the driver first loads, this fix also includes a one-time (per driver load) fix-up of the semaphore initial state.
