[PATCH] Remove unneded lock_kernel() in drivers/pci/syscall.c.

[Diego Woitasen]

sys_pciconfig_{read,write}() are protected against PCI removal with the reference count in struct pci_dev. The concurrency of pci_user_{read,write}_config_* functions are already protected by pci_lock in drivers/pci/access.c.
