Merge branch 'trivial' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/bkl

* 'trivial' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/bkl:
  block: autoconvert trivial BKL users to private mutex
  drivers: autoconvert trivial BKL users to private mutex
  ipmi: autoconvert trivial BKL users to private mutex
  mac: autoconvert trivial BKL users to private mutex
  mtd: autoconvert trivial BKL users to private mutex
  scsi: autoconvert trivial BKL users to private mutex

Fix up trivial conflicts (due to addition of private mutex right next to
deletion of a version string) in drivers/char/pcmcia/cm40[04]0_cs.c
