Roland Dreier 05dafedb90 ecryptfs: Remove unneeded locking that triggers lockdep false positives
In ecryptfs_destroy_inode(), inode_info->lower_file_mutex is locked,
and just after the mutex is unlocked, the code does:

 	kmem_cache_free(ecryptfs_inode_info_cache, inode_info);

This means that if another context could possibly try to take the same
mutex as ecryptfs_destroy_inode(), then it could end up getting the
mutex just before the data structure containing the mutex is freed.
So any such use would be an obvious use-after-free bug (catchable with
slab poisoning or mutex debugging), and therefore the locking in
ecryptfs_destroy_inode() is not needed and can be dropped.

Similarly, in ecryptfs_destroy_crypt_stat(), crypt_stat->keysig_list_mutex
is locked, and then the mutex is unlocked just before the code does:

 	memset(crypt_stat, 0, sizeof(struct ecryptfs_crypt_stat));

Therefore taking this mutex is similarly not necessary.

Removing this locking fixes false-positive lockdep reports such as the
following (and they are false-positives for exactly the same reason
that the locking is not needed):
