[PATCH] Remove compat ioctl semaphore
Originally for 2.6.16, but the semaphore causes problems for some people so get rid of it now. It's not needed anymore because the ioctl hash table is never changed at run time now. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
