[PATCH] lightnvm: pblk: remove spinlock when freeing line metadata

[Hans Holmberg]

From: Hans Holmberg <hans.holmberg@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Lockdep complains about being in atomic context while freeing line
metadata - and rightly so as we take a spinlock and end up calling
vfree that might sleep(in pblk_mfree).

There is no need for holding the line manager free_lock while
freeing line metadata, so remove the lock.
