macintosh: Remove BKL from nvram driver
Drop the bkl from nvram_llseek() as it obviously protects nothing. The
file offset is safe in essence.
The ioctl can be converted to unlocked_ioctl because it just calls
pmac_get_partition() which reads a value from an array which was
initialized at early boot time. No need for serialization.
