hwmon: (w83793) Drop useless mutex 

This is the same case as fschmd, from which the code was copied as far
as I can see. So the same clean-up applies:

The WDIOC_GETSUPPORT ioctl only needs a mutex because it operates on a
static variable. There is no good reason to keep this variable static,
so let's just make it non-static and drop the now useless mutex
altogether.

See the discussion at:
