Subject: [PATCH (mellanox tree)] net/mlx5: delete dead code in
 mlx5_esw_unlock()

Smatch complains about this function:

    drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/eswitch.c:2000 mlx5_esw_unlock()
    warn: inconsistent returns '&esw->mode_lock'.

Before commit ec2fa47d7b98 ("net/mlx5: Lag, use lag lock") there
used to be a matching mlx5_esw_lock() function and the lock and
unlock functions were symmetric.  But now we take the long
unconditionally and must unlock unconditionally as well.

As near as I can tell this is dead code and can just be deleted.
