Commit e9193059b1b3733695d5b80e667778311695aa73 ("hostfs: fix races in
dentry_name() and inode_name()").

But the spinlock was subsequently removed in the following commit:

Commit ec2447c278ee973d35f38e53ca16ba7f965ae33d ("hostfs: simplify
locking").

Since the comment is no longer applicable, remove it.

Seeing that just about every destructor got that INIT_LIST_HEAD() copied into

the cost of taking it into inode_init_always() will be negligible for pipes
and sockets and negative for everything else. Not to mention the removal of
boilerplate code from ->destroy_inode() instances...

fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into ->fsync() handlers

Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called
in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and
the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers. Some
file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and
ocfs2. For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make
sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each
individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.
