nfp: fix potential deadlock when canceling dim work

[ Upstream commit 17e712c6a1bade9dac02a7bf2b464746faa7e9a0 ]

When port is linked down, the process which has acquired rtnl_lock
will wait for the in-progress dim work to finish, and the work also
acquires rtnl_lock, which may cause deadlock.

Currently IRQ_MOD registers can be configured by `ethtool -C` and
dim work, and which will take effect depends on the execution order,
rtnl_lock is useless here, so remove them.

Fixes: 9d32e4e7e9e1 ("nfp: add support for coalesce adaptive feature")
