[PATCH] virtio_blk: remove BKL leftovers

From: Christoph Hellwig
Date: Tue Sep 14 2010 - 19:27:34 EST


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.
