    vfs: don't use BKL in default_llseek · ab91261f

    There are currently 191 users of default_llseek.
    Nine of these are in device drivers that use the
    big kernel lock. None of these ever touch
    file->f_pos outside of llseek or file_pos_write.
    
    Consequently, we never rely on the BKL
    in the default_llseek function and can
    replace that with i_mutex, which is also
    used in generic_file_llseek.
