Don't send this header.  We get everything from the email header.

Your fix is correct, but the changelog is not good.  These messages in
Sparse are wrong over 80% of the time.  So when I see one in a commit
message I assume it is wrong.  Add some more explanation to say why you
removed the spin_unlock.

Also "redundant" means "unnecessary" but sort of implies that it is
harmless.  Say something like: "staging: ced401: fix double unlock bug".
