Currently in the case where a new file lock completely replaces the old one, we end up overwriting the existing lock with the new info. This means that we have to call fl_release_private inside i_lock. Change the code to instead copy the info to new_fl, insert that lock into the correct spot and then delete the old lock. In a later patch, we'll defer the freeing of the old lock until after the i_lock has been dropped.
