Bob Peterson 249ffe18c6 gfs2: don't lock sd_ail_lock in gfs2_releasepage 
Patch 380f7c65a7 changed gfs2_releasepage
so that it held the sd_ail_lock spin_lock for most of its processing.
It did this for some mysterious undocumented bug somewhere in the
evict code path. But in the nine years since, evict has been reworked
and fixed many times, and so have the transactions and ail list.
I can't see a reason to hold the sd_ail_lock unless it's protecting
the actual ail lists hung off the transactions. Therefore, this patch
removes the locking to increase speed and efficiency, and to further help
us rework the log flush code to be more concurrent with transactions.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
