Subject[PATCH] [14/18] BKL-removal: Add unlocked_fasync
Date

Add a new fops entry point to allow fasync without BKL. While it's arguably
unclear this entry point is called often enough for it really matters
it was still relatively easy to do. And there are far less async users
in the tree than ioctls so it's likely they can be all converted
eventually and then the non unlocked async entry point could be dropped.
