drop_monitor: Rename and document scope of mutex
The 'trace_state_mutex' does not only protect the global 'trace_state' variable, but also the global 'hw_stats_list'. Subsequent patches are going add more operations from user space to drop_monitor and these all need to be mutually exclusive. Rename 'trace_state_mutex' to the more fitting 'net_dm_mutex' name and document its scope. Signed-off-by: Ido Schimmel <idosch@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
