drm/i915: don't grab dev->struct_mutex for userspace forcewak

Since forcewake is now protected by a spinlock, we don't need to grab
dev->struct_mutex any more. This way we can also get rid of a stale
comment, noticed by Ben Widawsky while reviewing some locking changes.

v2: Kill the unused variable ret, noticed by Fengguang Wu.
