Caller needs to acquire the lock. Called functions will not.

Fixes: 09f79fd49d94 ("i40e: avoid NVM acquire deadlock during NVM update")

Yes, this fixes the function header comment, not sure if it requires
the "Fixes:" tag.  If that were the case, wonder why all the other code
comment changes do not have this. :-)  I do agree it reads better with
this change, so I do not have an issue queue this up for Dave's net
tree.
