Subject: [S390] monwriter: remove lock_kernel() from open() function
X-Git-Tag: MMI-PSA29.97-13-9~25715^2~7
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=801f97b7da9dff4aace7111bfe0d073caf5febd2;p=GitHub%2FMotorolaMobilityLLC%2Fkernel-slsi.git

[S390] monwriter: remove lock_kernel() from open() function

The lock_kernel() calls in the open() function are unnecessary because
misc_register() is called last in module_init() and concurrent open()
calls are handled by other means.
