staging: unisys: visorinput: remove unnecessary locking
Locking in the _interrupt() function is NOT necessary so long as we ensure that interrupts have been stopped whenever we need to pause or resume the device, which we now do. While a device is paused, we ensure that interrupts stay disabled, i.e. that the _interrupt() function will NOT be called, yet remember the desired state in devdata->interrupts_enabled if open() or close() are called are called while the device is paused. Then when the device is resumed, we restore the actual state of interrupts (i.e., whether _interrupt() is going to be called or not) to the desired state in devdata->interrupts_enabled.
