Merge tag 'locks-v3.17-2' of git://git.samba.org/jlayton/linux

Pull file locking bugfixes from Jeff Layton:
 "Most of these patches are to fix a long-standing regression that crept
  in when the BKL was removed from the file-locking code.  The code was
  converted to use a conventional spinlock, but some fl_release_private
  ops can block and you can end up sleeping inside the lock.

  There's also a patch to make /proc/locks show delegations as 'DELEG'"

* tag 'locks-v3.17-2' of git://git.samba.org/jlayton/linux:
  locks: update Locking documentation to clarify fl_release_private behavior
  locks: move locks_free_lock calls in do_fcntl_add_lease outside spinlock
  locks: defer freeing locks in locks_delete_lock until after i_lock has been dropped
  locks: don't reuse file_lock in __posix_lock_file
  locks: don't call locks_release_private from locks_copy_lock
  locks: show delegations as "DELEG" in /proc/locks
