[PATCH] nvidiafb: don't use bl_mutex in nvidiafb_blank()

[Aristeu Sergio Rozanski Filho]

nvidiafb: remove usage of bl_mutex from nvidiafb_blank()

struct fb_info bl_mutex is used to protect bl_curve[] only, not needed in
nvidiafb_blank() and will cause a recursive mutex locking in
nvidia_bl_get_level_brightness()
