dlm: remove extra blocking callback check
Just before delivering a blocking callback (bast), the dlm_astd thread checks again that the granted mode of the lkb actually blocks the mode requested by the bast. The idea behind this was originally that the granted mode may have changed since the bast was queued, making the callback now unnecessary. Reasons for removing this extra check are: - dlm_astd doesn't lock the rsb before reading the lkb grmode, so it's not technically safe (this removes the long standing FIXME) - after running some tests, it doesn't appear the check ever actually eliminates a bast - delivering an unnecessary blocking callback isn't a bad thing and can happen anyway Signed-off-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com>
