[PATCH] sony_pi: Remove the BKL from sonypi_misc_open

From: John Kacur
Date: Sun Oct 18 2009 - 17:49:49 EST


The BKL is in this function because of the BKL pushdown
(see commit f8f2c79d594463427f7114cedb1555110d547d89)

It is not needed here because the mutex_lock sonypi_device.lock
provides the necessary locking.
