I'll have another go at this tonight, see how far I get doing it
the simplest way for each file.

Yes, looks good. I've compared it to a previous series of mine that
changed all the files in a different way. A number of those changes
have found their way into your tree by now, and there were only
two left that you didn't catch (see below), and one false positive
where I patched a struct v4l2_file_operations.

The v4l2_file_operations is actually another can of worms, I count
77 more files with a locked ioctl function in there. I'll put that on
the list of things to do before the BKL is gone.
