USB: autoconvert trivial BKL users to private mutex

All these files use the big kernel lock in a trivial
way to serialize their private file operations,
typically resulting from an earlier semi-automatic
pushdown from VFS.

None of these drivers appears to want to lock against
other code, and they all use the BKL as the top-level
lock in their file operations, meaning that there
is no lock-order inversion problem.

Consequently, we can remove the BKL completely,
replacing it with a per-file mutex in every case.
Using a scripted approach means we can avoid
typos.

name=$2
if grep -q lock_kernel ${file} ; then
    if grep -q 'include.*linux.mutex.h' ${file} ; then
            sed -i '/include.*<linux\/smp_lock.h>/d' ${file}
    else
            sed -i 's/include.*<linux\/smp_lock.h>.*$/include <linux\/mutex.h>/g' ${file}
    fi
    sed -i ${file} \
        -e "/^#include.*linux.mutex.h/,$ {
                1,/^\(static\|int\|long\)/ {
                     /^\(static\|int\|long\)/istatic DEFINE_MUTEX(${name}_mutex);

} }"  \
    -e "s/\(un\)*lock_kernel\>[ ]*()/mutex_\1lock(\&${name}_mutex)/g" \
    -e '/[      ]*cycle_kernel_lock();/d'
