[S390] monwriter: remove lock_kernel() from open() function
The lock_kernel() calls in the open() function are unnecessary because misc_register() is called last in module_init() and concurrent open() calls are handled by other means. Signed-off-by: Gerald Schaefer <gerald.schaefer@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
