Subject: [PATCH 3.14 34/59] NFS: Use raw_write_seqcount_begin/end int nfs4_reclaim_open_state

3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@...marydata.com>

commit abbec2da13f0e4c5d9b78b7e2c025a3e617228ba upstream.

The addition of lockdep code to write_seqcount_begin/end has lead to
a bunch of false positive claims of ABBA deadlocks with the so_lock
spinlock. Audits show that this simply cannot happen because the
read side code does not spin while holding so_lock.
