H A Dtun.cdiff deed49fbb68d7d07ec6c3dfd06bffc74e9abc6fa Wed Oct 14 03:19:46 CDT 2009 Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> net: Remove BKL from tun

The lock_kernel/unlock_kernel() in cycle_kernel_lock() which is called
in tun_chr_open() is not serializing against anything and safe to
remove.

tun_chr_fasync() is serialized by get/put_tun() and fasync_helper()
has no dependency on BKL. The modification of tun->flags is racy with
and without the BKL so removing it does not make it worse.
