      net: Remove BKL from tun · deed49fb
      Thomas Gleixner authored
      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.
