backends/iommufd: Remove mutex

Coverity reports a concurrent data access violation because be->users
is being accessed in iommufd_backend_can_be_deleted() without holding
the mutex.

However, these routines are called from the QEMU main thread when a
device is created. In this case, the code paths should be protected by
the BQL lock and it should be safe to drop the IOMMUFD backend mutex.
Simply remove it.
