Removing a lock is not a bug fix unless it's causing a user visible
problem, so this patch (and quite a lot of others in this series)
should go through the merge window process.

For things that cause user visible problems, we need a description of
the problem in the changelog and a cc to stable unless it was a
regression in the 4.4+ merge window.

Thanks,

James
