Drop the redundant disconnect mutex which was introduced after the open-disconnect race had been addressed generally in USB core by commit d4ead16f50f9 ("USB: prevent char device open/deregister race"). Specifically, the rw-semaphore in core guarantees that all calls to open() will have completed and that no new calls to open() will occur after usb_deregister_dev() returns. Hence there is no need use the driver data as an inverted disconnected flag.
