s390/debug: Fix s390dbf lockdep problem in debug_(un)register_view() 

The debug_register/unregister_view() functions call debugfs_remove()
while holding the debug_info spinlock. Because debugfs_remove() takes
a mutex and therefore can sleep this is not allowed. To fix the problem
we give up the debug_info lock before calling debugfs_remove().

The following shows the lockdep message:

[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
-------------------------------------------------------
rmmod/4379 is trying to acquire lock:
(&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#2){+.+.+.}, at: [<00000000003acae2>] debugfs_remove+0x5e/0xa

but task is already holding lock:
(&(&rc->lock)->rlock){-.-...}, at: [<000000000010a5ae>] debug_unregister_view+0x3a/0xd

which lock already depends on the new lock.
