Subject: [PATCH 2/2] [RFC] Remove BKL from fs/locks.c

From: Matthew Wilcox <willy@...ux.intel.com>

I've taken a patch originally written by Matthew Wilcox and
ported it to the current version. It seems that there were
originally concerns that this breaks NFS, but since Trond
has recently removed the BKL from NFS, my naive assumption
would be that it's all good now, despite not having tried to
understand what it does.

Original introduction from Willy:

   I've been promising to do this for about seven years now.

   It seems to work well enough, but I haven't run any serious stress
   tests on it.  This implementation uses one spinlock to protect both lock
   lists and all the i_flock chains.  It doesn't seem worth splitting up
   the locking any further.

   I had to move one memory allocation out from under the file_lock_lock.
   I hope I got that logic right.  I'm rather tempted to split out the
   find_conflict algorithm from that function into something that can be
   called separately for the FL_ACCESS case.

   I also have to drop and reacquire the file_lock_lock around the call
   to cond_resched().  This was done automatically for us before by the
   special BKL semantics.

   I had to change vfs_setlease() as it relied on the special BKL ability
   to recursively acquire the same lock.  The internal caller now calls
   __vfs_setlease and the exported interface acquires and releases the
   file_lock_lock around calling __vfs_setlease.

   I should probably split out the removal of interruptible_sleep_on_locked()
   as it's basically unrelated to all this.
