[media] double mutex lock in drivers/media/radio/si470x/radio-si470x-

KERNEL_VERSION: 2.6.37
common.c in function ssize_t si470x_fops_read.

1. First mutex_lock on &radio->lock in line 441
2. Second in line 462

I think that mutex in line 462 is not needed.

 433static ssize_t si470x_fops_read(struct file *file, char __user *buf,
 434                size_t count, loff_t *ppos)
