mtd: Remove redundant mutex from mtd_blkdevs.c
In commit 2a48fc0ab24241755dc93bfd4f01d68efab47f5a ('block: autoconvert trivial BKL users to private mutex'), Arnd replaced the BKL usage with a mutex. However, Maxim has already provided a better fix in commit 480792b7bf188c29b8d4b10fee65c3a06ec5dbf7 ('mtd: blktrans: kill BKL'), which was simply to remove the BKL without replacing it — since he'd already made it do all necessary locking for itself.
