[PATCH] locks: ensure that we can't set multiple flock locks for the same filp

From: Jeff Layton
Date: Tue Feb 17 2015 - 15:08:06 EST


Currently, we'll drop the spinlock in the middle of flock_lock_file in
the event that we found an lock that needed to be removed prior to an
upgrade or downgrade.

It's possible however for another task to race in and set a lock on
the same filp. If that happens, then we don't want to set an additional
lock, so just remove the one that raced in and set our own.
