[PATCH v3 2/2] locks: Use blocked_lock_lock only to protect blocked_hash

[Daniel Wagner]

blocked_lock_lock and file_lock_lglock are used to protect file_lock's
fl_link, fl_block, fl_next, blocked_hash and the percpu
file_lock_list.

Let's use blocked_lock_lock only to protect blocked_hash since it is a
global lock.

Whenever we insert a new lock we are going to grab besides the
flc_lock also the corresponding file_lock_lglock. The global
blocked_lock_lock is only used when blocked_hash is involved.

Since we already use fl_link_cpu to remember which percpu
file_lock_list is referencing to a blocker we just going to use it as
well for all waiters.

Note fl_list is protected by flc_lock. It's easy to get confused...
