[PATCH] remove redundant lock_kernel

[David C. Hansen]

In fs/proc/proc_misc.c:locks_read_proc(), the BKL is grabbed while calling get_locks_status().  But, this function holds the BKL for all of its list operations already.  I know that the BKL can be held recursively, but I don't see any need for this extra lock.  Patch against 2.5.1 attached.
