Kuniyuki Iwashima 4149be7bda fs/lock: Don't allocate file_lock in flock_make_lock().
Two functions, flock syscall and locks_remove_flock(), call
flock_make_lock().  It allocates struct file_lock from slab
cache if its argument fl is NULL.

When we call flock syscall, we pass NULL to allocate memory
for struct file_lock.  However, we always free it at the end
by locks_free_lock().  We need not allocate it and instead
should use a local variable as locks_remove_flock() does.

Also, the validation for flock_translate_cmd() is not necessary
for locks_remove_flock().  So we move the part to flock syscall
and make flock_make_lock() return nothing.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
