s2255drv: removal of BKL

From: Dean Anderson <dean@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

big kernel lock removed from open function.
v4l2 code does not require locking the open function except
to check asynchronous firmware load state, which is protected
by a mutex

Priority: normal

Signed-off-by: Dean Anderson <dean@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
