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.
