iwlwifi: remove power-wasting calls to apm_ops.init()



To save power, don't run apm_ops.init() until needed at "up" time.

EEPROM (5000 and earlier devices) may be read without running apm_ops.init(),
but OTP reads (6000 and newer devices) require a powered-up chip.
Therefore, remove apm_ops.init() from the general path in XXXX_pci_probe(),
and call it only if device uses OTP.  Once done with OTP read, call
apm_ops.stop() to reset chip and save power until "up" time comes around.

NOTE:  This patch depends on removal of priv->lock from iwl_apm_stop();
lock does not get initialized until later in flow.  See patch
"remove unneeded locks from apm_stop()".
