Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't see that.

Your patch is 100% identical to my first attempt at a fix and I can
confirm that it also fixes the problem for me.

If people who are more savvy in block/fs code could ack the locking bits
I think we should apply the patch ASAP because it's an easy local DOS if
you have (open/read) access to any block device.
