Subject: [PATCH] lightnvm: pblk: remove spinlock when freeing line metadata
Git-commit: 28bd109411eaa4c541f2e240d1285c154de4dfb7

Lockdep complains about being in atomic context while freeing line
metadata - and rightly so as we take a spinlock and end up calling
vfree that might sleep(in pblk_mfree).

There is no need for holding the line manager free_lock while
freeing line metadata as the pipeline as stopped, so remove the lock.

Fixes: 588726d3ec68 ("lightnvm: pblk: fail gracefully on irrec. error")
