[PATCH] drm/via: reduce no need mutex_lock area

[PATCH] drm/via: reduce no need mutex_lock area

[Bernard Zhao]

In function via_mem_alloc`s error branch, DRM_ERROR is protected
in the mutex_lock(&dev->struct_mutex) area.
From the code, we see that DRM_ERROR is just an error log print
without any struct element, there is no need to protect this.

Thanks, applied to drm-misc-next.

The patch will show up in -next in a few weeks.
