Vladimir Oltean 6f320f6990 RDMA/mlx4: Remove bogus dev_base_lock usage
It is not clear what this lock protects. If the authors wanted to ensure
that "dev" does not disappear, that is impossible, given the following
code path:

mlx4_ib_netdev_event (under RTNL mutex)
-> mlx4_ib_scan_netdevs
   -> mlx4_ib_update_qps

Also, the dev_base_lock does not protect dev->dev_addr either.

So it serves no purpose here. Remove it.
