[PATCH] raw: Remove the BKL from raw_open

[John Kacur]

The BKL was pushed into raw_open with
commit c0bed680f0ca603864375ed5f9fed4296a53aa62

Jonathan's comments were " Put explicit lock_kernel() calls into raw_open(), even though the existing locking looks adequate."

I have to agree, the raw_mutex should provide all the protection needed here.
