sony_pi: Remove the BKL from open and ioctl
The BKL is in this function because of the BKL pushdown (see commit f8f2c79d594463427f7114cedb1555110d547d89) It is not needed here because the mutex_lock sonypi_device.lock provides the necessary locking. sonypi_misc_ioctl can be converted to unlocked ioctls since it relies on its own locking (the mutex sonypi_device.lock) and not the bkl Document that llseek is not needed by explictly setting it to no_llseek LKML-Reference: <alpine.LFD.2.00.0910192019420.3563@localhost.localdomain> Signed-off-by: John Kacur <jkacur@redhat.com> Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
