4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Xiubo Li <xiubli@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 3d27c4de8d4fb2d4099ff324671792aa2578c6f9 upstream. Since mutex lock in irq hanler is useless currently, here will remove it together with it. This reverts commit 9421e45f5ff3d558cf8b75a8cc0824530caf3453.
