4.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Fabian Frederick <fabf@xxxxxxxxx> commit 13b987ea275840d74d9df9a44326632fab1894da upstream. This reverts commit 9ef7db7f38d0 ("ufs: fix deadlocks introduced by sb mutex merge") That patch tried to solve commit 0244756edc4b98c ("ufs: sb mutex merge + mutex_destroy") which is itself partially reverted due to multiple deadlocks.
