rtlwifi: Use mutex to replace spin_lock to protect IPS and LPS

Enter/leavel IPS and LPS are large critical section, and they can't use
sleep function because running in atomic-context, which own a spin_lock.
In commit ba9f93f82aba ("rtlwifi: Fix enter/exit power_save"), it moves
LPS functions to thread-context, so this commit can simply change LPS's
spin lock to mutex.
Considering IPS functions, rtl_ips_nic_on() may be called by TX tasklet
(softirq-context) that check whether packet is auth frame. Fortunately,
current mac80211 will ask driver to leave IPS using op_config with
changed flag IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_IDLE, before issuing auth frame, so
IPS functions can run in thread-context and use mutex to protect critical
section, too.
Also, this commit removes some useless spin locks.
