Fix mutex leak in CTR_DRBG

mbedtls_ctr_drbg_free() left a mutex in the initialized state. This
caused a resource leak on platforms where mbedtls_mutex_init()
allocates resources.

To fix this, mbedtls_ctr_drbg_free() no longer reinitializes the
mutex. To preserve the property that mbedtls_ctr_drbg_free() leaves
the object in an initialized state, which is generally true throughout
the library except regarding mutex objects on some platforms, no
longer initialize the mutex in mbedtls_ctr_drbg_init(). Since the
mutex is only used after seeding, and seeding is only permitted once,
call mbedtls_mutex_init() as part of the seeding process.
