bnxt_en: Fix race when modifying pause settings.

The driver was modified to not rely on rtnl lock to protect link
settings about 2 years ago.  The pause setting was missed when
making that change.  Fix it by acquiring link_lock mutex before
calling bnxt_hwrm_set_pause().

Fixes: e2dc9b6e ("bnxt_en: Don't use rtnl lock to protect link change logic in workqueue.")
