USB: core: Remove usbfs_mutex
Commit 4a2a8a2cce86 ("usbfs: private mutex for open, release, and remove") is now obsolete. The commit was created back when we had to handle both usbfs device nodes and the old usbdevfs filesystem (/proc/bus/usb/), but usbdevfs no longer exists. This means there's no longer any need to hold a mutex during two separate removal operations (and thus during an entire notifier chain call). Furthermore, the one remaining remove/release pair doesn't race with open thanks to the synchronization provided by the device model core in bus_find_device(). Remove and release don't race with each other because they both run with the device lock held. The upshot is that usbfs_mutex isn't needed any more. This patch removes it entirely.
