If the VIN device is part of a group of VIN devices (all Gen3 boards) there is no reason to only unregister the group notifier if the VIN that registers the notifier is removed. The VIN that registers the notifier is always the last VIN device to be bound, so keeping the notifier around after any VIN is unbound creates an unbalanced state where no VIN in the group is operational. Fix this by unconditionally unregistering the notifier when any VIN device is unbound. Unregistering the notifier will lead to unbound() being called and all video devices exposed by any VIN instance to be removed. The lock was only needed to protect the check which VIN registers the notifier and is no longer needed.
