    lockd: remove SIGKILL handling · 8db14cad
    NeilBrown authored
    lockd allows SIGKILL and responds by dropping all locks and restarting
    the grace period.  This functionality has been present since 2.1.32 when
    lockd was added to Linux.
    
    This functionality is undocumented and most likely added as a useful
    debug aid.  When there is a need to drop locks, the better approach is
    to use /proc/fs/nfsd/unlock_*.
    
    This patch removes SIGKILL handling as part of preparation for removing
    all signal handling from sunrpc service threads.
