[patch 1/5] hwmon: Convert fschmd to unlocked_ioctl

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Thu Oct 15 2009 - 16:31:22 EST


The conversion of fschmd watchdog ioctl to unlocked_ioctl needs to
protect the static watchdog_info variable for the WDIOC_GETSUPPORT
command.

All other commands are safe w/o BKL as the called watchdog functions
are already serialized with watchdog_lock of the sensor.
