cris: autoconvert trivial BKL users

Browse source 
All uses of the big kernel lock in the cris architecture
are for ioctl and open functions of character device drivers,
which can be trivially converted to a per-driver mutex.

Most of these are probably unnecessary, so it may make sense
to audit them and eventually remove the extra mutex introduced
by this patch.
