Subject[PATCH 4.19 23/51] pstore: Remove needless lock during console writes
Date
From: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>

commit b77fa617a2ff4d6beccad3d3d4b3a1f2d10368aa upstream.

Since the console writer does not use the preallocated crash dump buffer
any more, there is no reason to perform locking around it.

Fixes: 70ad35db3321 ("pstore: Convert console write to use ->write_buf")
