nozomi: Fix mutex handling
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
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)
