ASoC: remove io_mutex

Remove the io_mutex. It has a drawback of serializing
all accesses to snd_soc_update_bits() even when multiple
codecs are in use. In addition, it fails to actually do
its task - during snd_soc_update_bits(), dapm_update_bits()
may also be accessing the same register which may result in
an outdated register value.
