4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> commit 967d1dc144b50ad005e5eecdfadfbcfb399ffff6 upstream. __loop_release() has a single call site. Fold it there. This is currently not a huge win but it will make following replacement of loop_index_mutex more obvious.
