Subject: [PATCH] Fix deadlock on regular nonseekable files

'Commit 9c225f2655e36a470c4f58dbbc99244c5fc7f2d4 ("vfs: atomic f_pos
accesses as per POSIX")' introduce following regression. If some program
does multithreaded IO on file in pseudo-filesystem, like procfs, with
nonseekable files marked as regular, we get deadlock on f_pos_lock
mutex, if there are simultaneous reading and writing by different
threads.
