same answer as shim_lock, it's initialized at the higher level

You may have missed that the structures are different.

the sdw_intel_ctx is global for all links, so that the shim_mask integer 
value.
the sdw_intel_link_res is link-specific and use a pointer to the same 
shim_mask value, protected by shim_lock.
