My guess is that we need something like the patch below.
This moves the lock_flocks() call into the places where it
is needed and can be safely converted into a spinlock because
that code does not sleep.
Finally, we can build fs/locks.c, nfs and nfsd with CONFIG_BKL
disabled.
*not tested*

This option enables standard file locking support, required
