This is a repost of an earlier patch to remove those users of the big kernel lock that can be converted to a mutex using a simple script. The only use of the BKL is in file operations that are called without any other lock, so the new mutex is the top-level serialization and cannot introduce any AB-BA deadlock. Please apply to the respective maintainer trees if the patches look good.
