update Documentation/filesystems/Locking for 2.6.27 changes
In the 2.6.27 circle ->fasync lost the BKL, and the last remaining ->open variant that takes the BKL is also gone. ->get_sb and ->kill_sb didn't have BKL forever, so updated the entries while we're at that.

->open() locking is in-transit: big lock partially moved into the methods.
