Yeah.  Al has somethng cooking where he renamed the lock.

It looks like this just needs the trivial change:
s/br_write_lock(&vfsmount_lock)/lock_mount_hash()/
s/br_write_unlock(&vfsmount_lock)/unlock_mount_hash()/

Certainly that is all it needed when I closely inspected an earlier
version of Al's changes.  He changed the name of the lock and I just
happen to be using it.  In this case I don't think any of the semantics
have changed.
