[RFC PATCH 32/35] Partially revert "locks: fix file locking on overlayfs"

From: Miklos Szeredi
Date: Thu Apr 12 2018 - 11:09:49 EST


This partially reverts commit c568d68341be7030f5647def68851e469b21ca11.

Overlayfs files will now automatically get the correct locks, no need to
hack overlay support in VFS.

It is a partial revert, because it leaves the locks_inode() calls in place
and defines locks_inode() to file_inode(). We could revert those as well,
but it would be unnecessary code churn and it makes sense to document that
we are getting the inode for locking purposes.
