 global kernfs_open_file_mutex.

Hello,

The patchset generally looks good to me but I think it can be split a bit
better and the locking helper code can be more compacted. Also, it'd be
great o include the benchmark method and result in the commit log so that it
can be looked up easily later. It just has to be in one of the patch
descriptions whether the first or last of the series and the rest can refer
to it.

Thanks.
