The BKL was pushed down from VFS to the file-systems. It used
to serialize mount/unmount/remount. UBIFS must be safe if several
file-systems are mounted/unmounted/re-mounted at the same time,
so kill kick the BKL out of UBIFS.

Looks like protection is always provided by sb->s_umount

Missing {} below, btw.
