[PATCH] fix posix_locks_deadlock()
The "blocked_list" used for POSIX deadlock detection should only contain POSIX locks, or posix_locks_deadlock() can get confused. As I've noted before (but never posted a patch), we should probably stop checking for deadlock. POSIX says it's optional for an implementation to check for deadlock, and since the change to match on tgid, we can report a deadlock when none exists. [ Further explanation for Linus: POSIX locks and BSD locks don't block each other, so checking that the blocker is a POSIX lock also implies that the waiter is a POSIX lock. ]
