Subject: i40e: remove a stray unlock
From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit be0cb0a66a1d426f7cd9b170c008725044ae147a upstream.
We shifted the locking around a bit but forgot to delete this unlock so
now it can unlock twice.
Fixes: cd3be169a5ff ('i40e: Move the mutex lock in i40e_client_unregister')
