[RFC/PATCH] arm: oprofile: remove locking from suspend/resume

Since oprofile is a sysdev, its suspend/resume methods are called with
interrupts disabled. Using a mutex (which might sleep) in this atomic
context is not safe.
Since these methods are already called in atomic context, simply
remove the locking in the suspend/resume methods.
Found using lockdep on OMAP3 (Cortex-A8)
