A leftover lock on the list is surely a sign of a problem of some sort, but it's not necessarily a reason to panic the box. Instead, just log a warning with some info about the lock, and then delete it like we would any other lock. In the event that the filesystem declares a ->lock f_op, we may end up leaking something, but that's generally preferable to an immediate panic.
