Unless you calculations on the oplock value or accessing it multiple
times with some logic involved I don't think locking will help much.
If two threads are assigning the same variable, you can end up with
two possible outcomes regardless of whether locking is used or not.

Locking will be needed once we start to make proper decisions based on
previous and new values of the oplock to purge a page cache or flush
buffered data. This still needs to be done and is out of the scope of
this patch which aims to fix the buffer overflow error.
