If e1000_get_hw_semaphore_82574() succeed, it acquires swflag_mutex,
otherwise it does not. But the returned value of
e1000_get_hw_semaphore_82574() is ignored, so unlocking of swflag_mutex
happens anyway.

The patch fixes the issue by breaking reset if MIC ownership is not acquired.

Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
