Currently, audit_tree code uses mark->lock to protect against detaching of mark from an inode. In most places it however also uses mark->group->mark_mutex (as we need to atomically replace attached marks) and this provides protection against mark detaching as well. So just remove protection with mark->lock from audit tree code and replace it with mark->group->mark_mutex protection in all the places. It simplifies the code and gets rid of some ugly catches like calling fsnotify_add_mark_locked() with mark->lock held (which cannot sleep only because we hold a reference to another mark attached to the same inode).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
