nozomi: Fix mutex handling
The original author didn't realise the kernel lock was a drop while sleep lock so did clever (and wrong) things to work around the non need to avoid deadlocks. Remove the cleverness and the comment (as we don't hold the BKL now anyway in those paths) Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
