[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH 2/6] fm10k: don't initialize service task until later in probe

delay initialization of the service timer and service task until late
probe. If we don't wait, failures in probe do not properly cleanup the
service timer or service task items, which results in the kernel panic
below, potentially freezing the whole system. In addition, ensure that
the SERVICE_DISABLE bit is set before we request the mbx irq since the
mbx interrupt attempts to schedule the service task otherwise. This
prevents a similar trace from occurring after this change.

We didn't notice this issue before because probe almost always completes
successfully. I discovered it due to a mis-ordered mailbox handler
array, which resulted in the following failure when requesting mailbox
interrupt.
