Remove the BKL usage added in "block: push down BKL into .locked_ioctl".
Virtio-blk doesn't use the BKL for anything, and doesn't implement any
ioctl command by itself, but only uses the generic scsi_cmd_ioctl
which is fine without the BKL.

Looks good. Rusty, do you have a tree you want to stick this into?
If not, I can add it to my 'config' series' and drop my other patch
from the 'trivial' series.
