From 5a6c824ebb7c9f8dbbc92ffd3528e6366cad1a54 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2012 12:46:40 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] md/bitmap: remove some pointless locking. There is nothing gained by holding a lock while we check if a pointer is NULL or not. If there could be a race, then it could become NULL immediately after the unlock - but there is no race here. So just remove the locking.
