Hi Petr,

Thanks for taking care of this.

Would you like me to take this patch into my bkl/vfs tree? I think
that would make it easier for me because I'm adding another instance
of the BKL there, in the ncp_fill_super function. As far as I can tell
that change (see below) becomes pointless with your patch.

I could either just revert my change or replace it with your patch,
whichever you prefer.
