[PATCH V2] staging: gpib: Fix lpvo request_system_control

[Dave Penkler]

The IEEE-488 GPIB standard was designed to ensure that there is only ever
one controller-in-charge on the bus at any one time. If a board becomes
controller-in-charge on request_system_control there is no way to ensure
that there is not another board also acting as controller-in-charge.
This can lead to bus conflicts and hangs.

Remove the setting of controller-in-charge from request_system_control.
