vmbus: don't acquire the mutex in vmbus_hvsock_device_unregister() Due to commit 54a66265d675 ("Drivers: hv: vmbus: Fix rescind handling"), we need this patch to resolve the below deadlock: after we get the mutex in vmbus_hvsock_device_unregister() and call vmbus_device_unregister() -> device_unregister() -> ... -> device_release() -> vmbus_device_release(), we'll get a deadlock, because vmbus_device_release() tries to get the same mutex.
