[PATCH 3/3] kill-the-bkl/reiserfs: drop the fs race watchdog from _get_block_create_0()

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Wed Oct 14 2009 - 18:27:48 EST


We had a watchdog in _get_block_create_0() that jumped to a fixup retry
path in case the bkl got relaxed while calling kmap().
This is not necessary anymore since we now have a reiserfs lock that is
not implicitly relaxed while sleeping.
