Ezequiel Garcia 9d3bf4cd9f media: vim2m: Remove unneeded buffer lock
This spinlock is used solely to call v4l2_m2m_buf_done().

Since buffers are obtained only after being removed
from the ready queue, there's no concurrent access, and
so no need for synchronization.

Remove the spinlock to make sure no one copies this pattern.

Some archaeology shows this is a small leftover from ancient code.
This driver (then called m2m_testdev) used the videobuf1 framework;
commit d80ee38cd8 ("[media] v4l: mem2mem: port m2m_testdev to vb2")
converted it to videobuf2. The spinlock was then no longer needed,
and this simply went unnoticed.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
