thinkpad-acpi: kill hotkey_thread_mutex

hotkey_kthread() does try_to_freeze() under hotkey_thread_mutex.

We can simply kill this mutex, hotkey_poll_stop_sync() does not need to
serialize with hotkey_kthread().  When kthread_stop() returns the thread
is already dead, it called do_exit()->complete_vfork_done().
