The patch below fixes an interesting oddity we're seeing with fedora core development (where we recently started using udev heavily); basically right now filelock_init() is a module_init(), eg runs late. However that breaks down because there are earlier /sbin/hotplug callouts, which with udev, do locking operations. When that happens the kernel oopses because the slabs for file locks aren't initialized yet. Solution: initialize this way early. It's only a kmem_cache_create after all, so can happen early.
