[PATCH] 2.5 dropping unneded lock precense check.

From: Oleg Drokin on behalf of Hans Reiser (reiser@namesys.com)
Date: Wed Feb 20 2002 - 09:22:27 EST


Hello!

   After BKL was moved from the VFS into the filesystem's methods in the lookup
   call, we do not need to check BKL is actually held (we know it is not).
   This patch patch removes unneeded lock_depth check.
   Without this patch reiserfs cannot be used on SMP.
   Please apply.
