[media] ds3000: remove useless 'locking'
Since b9bf2eaf, the function ds3000_firmware_ondemand() is called only once during init. This locking scheme may have been useful when the firmware was loaded at each tune. Furthermore, it looks like this 'lock' was put in to prevent concurrent access (and not recursion as the comments suggest). However, this open- coded mechanism is anything but race-free and should have used a proper mutex.
