So this is a fine change, but there's a couple more:

 - Documentation/filesystems/locks.rst still has a section on mandatory
   locking that, presumably, can just come out; it has a reference to
   the now-removed file.

 - There is also a reference (dated April 1996) in the pseudo-changelog
   comments at the head of fs/locks.c.  I'd take the whole pile out, but
   that's me...

Thanks,
