[PATCH 6/7] IPMI: fix hotmod remove lock

[PATCH 6/7] IPMI: fix hotmod remove lock

[Corey Minyard]

From: Corey Minyard <cminyard@mvista.com>

The removal of proc entries was done holding a lock, which is
no longer allowed.  There is no need for the lock, only a mutex
is required, so switch over to a mutex.

Not needed for the stable kernel.
