Sorry I missed your earlier mail about this. My feeling is to not worry
about it. struct file_lock is rather large, so putting it on the stack
was always a bit dangerous, and F_GETLK is a rather uncommon operation
anyway.
That said, if there are real-world workloads that have regressed because
of this patch, I'm definitely open to backing it out.
Does anyone else have opinions on the matter?
