Subject: Unionfs: remove unnecessary lock when deleting whiteouts
X-Git-Url: https://git.fsl.cs.sunysb.edu/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f6ed8c23613ffd24a12d580a53854c64bdc55b71;p=unionfs-2.6.39.y.git

Unionfs: remove unnecessary lock when deleting whiteouts

Lockdep complained, because we eventually call vfs_unlink which'd grab the
necessary locks.
