[POWERPC] fix spin lock nesting in hvc_iseries

[Stephen Rothwell]

We had nested spinlocks using the same flags variable, but it turns out
that we don't need the nested locks at all (the lock protects a static
buffer that we aren't using here), so just remove the extra locks.

Spotted by Alexey Dobriyan.
