Instead of making the lock raw, remove it as it protects nothing.

I don't know how you guys are managing the RT branch, but this seems
quite similar to:

a3c8b4faeeccb33dbad6969bc9e50bf409f167e7 (MIPS: Cavium: Remove
smp_reserve_lock.)

Great! Then we don't need to worry about it :-)

But as it doesn't seem that this patch was marked as stable, we will be
carrying it in -rt where we support older kernels.

Should it go to mainline stable?


I don't think it is necessary. As far as I know, RT may be the only thing that needs it.
