cciss: fix broken mutex usage in ioctl
If a new logical drive is added and the CCISS_REGNEWD ioctl is invoked
(as is normal with the Array Configuration Utility) the process will
hang as below. It attempts to acquire the same mutex twice, once in
do_ioctl() and once in cciss_unlocked_open(). The BKL was recursive,
the mutex isn't.

This mutex usage was added into the ioctl path when the big kernel lock
was removed. As it turns out, these paths are all thread safe anyway
(or can easily be made so) and we don't want ioctl() to be single
threaded in any case.
