Here I copy the code from unregister_xenbus_watch(). I think we can assume the
caller would not unregister the same xenbus_watch twice (otherwise, the default
unregister_xenbus_watch() would hit this issue as well)?

When a watch is unregistered, it is processed either in the context of a
xenwatch thread or any other thread/context.

When we avoid the lock here, it indicatew the watch un-registration is processed
by a specific xenwatch thread and no one would race with it.
