After pushing down the BKL to the get_sb/fill_super operations of the filesystems that still make usage of the BKL it is safe to remove it from do_new_mount(). I've read through all the code formerly covered by the BKL inside do_kern_mount() and have satisfied myself that it doesn't need the BKL any more.
