sony_pi: Remove the BKL from open and ioctl

Browse source 
The BKL is in this function because of the BKL pushdown (see commit
f8f2c79d59)

It is not needed here because the mutex_lock sonypi_device.lock provides
the necessary locking.

sonypi_misc_ioctl can be converted to unlocked ioctls since it relies on
its own locking (the mutex sonypi_device.lock) and not the bkl

Document that llseek is not needed by explictly setting it to no_llseek
