[PATCH] nilfs2: remove BKL uses

[PATCH] nilfs2: remove BKL uses

[Ryusuke Konishi]

Nilfs has BKL uses in its put_super and remount functions, but none of
them are necessary, just came from earlier push downs.  This
eliminates the BKL uses from nilfs.

This looks good, but there is a another patch series pushing the BKL
into the get_sb and fill_super operations, which should be the final
pushdown for file systems. I wonder if there is a way to find a
shortcut on this so we don't need to add it first just to have you
go through the effort of removing it again.

I could take his patch in the mount pushdown series.

OK, please treat this patch as needed.

I've forgotten the additional BKL push down patch and Jan's BKL
removal patch on nilfs, but yes, it looks omissible to add BKL and
remove it again there.

For now, I will drop my patch from my tree.

Thanks,
