Subject: [PATCH] Documentation/filesystems: remove out of date reference to
BKL being held
Documentation/filesystems/vfs.txt incorrectly states that the kernel is
locked during the call to statfs (Documentation/filesystems/Locking
correctly says it is not). This patch removes the offending sentence.
remove reference to BKL being held in statfs
