[PATCH v3] HID: Replace semaphore driver_lock with mutex

From: Binoy Jayan
Date: Wed Jun 14 2017 - 02:12:37 EST


The semaphore 'driver_lock' is used as a simple mutex, and
also unnecessary as suggested by Arnd. Hence removing it, as
the concurrency between the probe and remove is already
handled in the driver core.
