config_mutex served two purposes: prevent multiple concurrent config

Since commit dbf2576e37da0fcc7aacbfbb9fd5d3de7888a3c1
     workqueue: make all workqueues non-reentrant
all workqueues are non-reentrant, and config_enable
is now gone.

Get rid of the unnecessary lock.

    There's no need for this *return*.

I know - it's removed by the follow-up patch.

   Yeah, I saw.

It's formatted like this to make diff smaller
and make review easier.

   Don't understand how adding this line makes diff smaller though...
You first need to add it and then to delete it, where's the save?
