[PATCH] remove BKL from llseek

[Anton Blanchard]

Hi,

The dbench-o-matic results from removing the BKL from llseek can be
found here:

http://samba.org/~anton/linux/llseek/

Same hardware as the earlier test, 12 way ppc64. The patch is pretty dumb,
I just pushed the kernel lock down into the llseek methods and only replaced
it with the inode semaphore in generic_llseek. Im sure Al will have a
better fix for 2.5, I just wanted to highlight the problem :)

Anton
