[PATCH] cinergyT2-core: move data_mutex to struct dvb_usb_device

The data_mutex is initialized too late, as it is needed for
the device's power control, causing an OOPS:

dvb-usb: found a 'TerraTec/qanu USB2.0 Highspeed DVB-T Receiver' in warm state.

So, move it to the struct dvb_usb_device and initialize it
before calling the driver's callbacks.
