i2c: Remove big kernel lock from i2cdev_open
The BKL is held over a kmalloc so cannot protect anything beyond that. The two calls before the kmalloc have their own locking. Improve device open function by removing the now unnecessary ret variable Signed-off-by: Vincent Sanders <vince@simtec.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
