chipset_enable.c: Remove futile attempt to disable lock

For all recent Intel chipsets (and possibly others) the ability to
disable the lock fails. This leads to confusing messages being
presented to the user where unlocking fails but the flash update
process works correctly.

Remove the unlock attempt which had alreayd been marked in the source
code comments as "futile".
