Bluetooth: Remove useless rx_lock spinlock
rx_lock spinlock is only used in hci_uart_tty_receive() which is the receive_buf ldisc callback. hci_uart_tty_receive() is protected from re-entrance by its only caller (flush_to_ldisc() in drivers/tty/tty_buffer.c) which held a mutex (buf->lock) for this section. This lock allows "safe use of the line discipline's receive_buf() method by excluding the buffer work and any pending flush from using the flip buffer." (comments from tty_buffer_lock_exclusive() in drivers/tty/tty_buffer.c) So, no need to double protect this resource with rx_lock.
