The NFS client shouldn't need any special locking around remote_llseek()
beyond whatever is required at the VFS level.
The one case in nfs_file_llseek() where we might care is the call to
nfs_revalidate_file_size() ('cos I still haven't finished auditing BKL
dependencies in the inode attributes). However that case should already
be covered without introducing any new lock_kernel/unlock_kernel calls
since __nfs_revalidate_inode() already grabs the BKL.
