This patch removes the non-required spinlock acquire/release calls on
'queue_irqlock' from 'uvc_queue_next_buffer' routine.

This routine is called from 'video->encode' function (which translates to either
'uvc_video_encode_bulk' or 'uvc_video_encode_isoc') in 'uvc_video.c'.
As, the 'video->encode' routines are called with 'queue_irqlock' already held,
so acquiring a 'queue_irqlock' again in 'uvc_queue_next_buffer' routine causes
a spin lock recursion.
