[media] bttv: remove unneeded locking comments
After Mauro's "bttv: Fix locking issues due to BKL removal code" there are a number of comments that are no longer needed about lock ordering. Remove them. Signed-off-by: Brandon Philips <bphilips@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>
