Venkat Rao Bagalkote e8c715f3a7 char/nvram: Remove redundant nvram_mutex ...

The global nvram_mutex in drivers/char/nvram.c is redundant and unused,
and this triggers compiler warnings on some configurations.

All platform-specific nvram operations already provide their own internal
synchronization, meaning the wrapper-level mutex does not provide any
additional safety.

Remove the nvram_mutex definition along with all remaining lock/unlock
users across PPC32, x86, and m68k code paths, and rely entirely on the
per-architecture nvram implementations for locking.
