    Bluetooth: Remove useless rx_lock spinlock · 7649faff
    Frederic Danis authored
    rx_lock spinlock is only used in hci_uart_tty_receive() which is the
    receive_buf ldisc callback.
    
    hci_uart_tty_receive() is protected from re-entrance by its only
    caller (flush_to_ldisc() in drivers/tty/tty_buffer.c) which held a
    mutex (buf->lock) for this section.
    This lock allows "safe use of the line discipline's receive_buf()
    method by excluding the buffer work and any pending flush from using
    the flip buffer." (comments from tty_buffer_lock_exclusive() in
    drivers/tty/tty_buffer.c)
    
    So, no need to double protect this resource with rx_lock.
