[PATCH 3.18 34/50] pstore: Allow prz to control need for locking

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Joel Fernandes <joelaf@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 663deb47880f2283809669563c5a52ac7c6aef1a upstream.

In preparation of not locking at all for certain buffers depending on if
there's contention, make locking optional depending on the initialization
of the prz.

[kees: moved locking flag into prz instead of via caller arguments]
