pcmcia: remove pcmcia_add_device_lock
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
As all cards to pcmcia_device_add() are already locked by skt_mutex, and
the critical sections inside this function are further protected by
ops_mutex, there's no need to keep a third lock around. Therfore, remove
pcmcia_add_device_lock.
