[PATCH v2] hpfs: remove the BKL

[Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>]

This removes the BKL in hpfs in a rather awful
way, by making the code only work on uniprocessor
systems without kernel preemption, as suggested
by Andi Kleen.

The HPFS code probably has close to zero remaining
users on current kernels, all archeological uses of
the file system can probably be done with the significant
restrictions.

The hpfs_lock/hpfs_unlock functions are left in the
code as stubs, in case someone feels motivated to
make it work on SMP again.
