This won't work. locks_show is called under the blocked_lock_lock
spinlock, and __getname does a GFP_KERNEL allocation.

The second problem is that the procfiles that this alters (/proc/locks
and /proc/<pid>/fdinfo/*) are considered part of the kernel's ABI, so
we can't just go change the format of them.

If you're interested in getting pathnames, I suggest using the lslocks
program which resolves these pathnames in userland.
