3.16.42-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: "David S. Miller" <davem@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 4c03b862b12f980456f9de92db6d508a4999b788 upstream. A nested lock depth was added to the hasbin_delete() code but it doesn't actually work some well and results in tons of lockdep splats. Fix the code instead to properly drop the lock around the operation and just keep peeking the head of the hashbin queue.
