  locks: fix a potential use-after-free problem when wakeup a waiter (2020-03-06 11:54:13 -0500)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Just a couple of late-breaking patches for the file locking code. The
second patch (from yangerkun) fixes a rather nasty looking potential
use-after-free that should go to stable.

The other patch could technically wait for 5.7, but it's fairly
innocuous so I figured we might as well take it.

Thanks,
Jeff
