V4L/DVB (11841): core: fix potential mutex_unlock without mutex_lock in dvb_dvr_read
dvb_dvr_read may unlock the dmxdev mutex and return -ENODEV, except this function is a file op and will never be called with the mutex held. There's existing mutex_lock and mutex_unlock around the actual read but it's commented out. These should probably be uncommented but the read blocks and this could block another non-blocking reader on the mutex instead. This change comments out the extra mutex_unlock.
