Subject: [PATCH net-next] net/sched: taprio: remove unnecessary taprio_list_lock

The 3 functions that want access to the taprio_list:
taprio_dev_notifier(), taprio_destroy() and taprio_init() are all called
with the rtnl_mutex held, therefore implicitly serialized with respect
to each other. A spin lock serves no purpose.
