Linus Torvalds f01eb36403 [BKL] add 'might_sleep()' to the outermost lock taker ...

As shown by the previous patch (6698e3472: "tty: Fix BKL taken under a
spinlock bug introduced in the BKL split") the BKL removal is prone to
some subtle issues, where removing the BKL in one place may in fact make
a previously nested BKL call the new outer call, and then prone to nasty
deadlocks with other spinlocks.

In general, we should never take the BKL while we're holding a spinlock,
so let's just add a "might_sleep()" to it (even though the BKL doesn't
technically sleep - at least not yet), and we'll get nice warnings the
next time this kind of problem happens during BKL removal.
