[merged] reiserfs-delay-reiserfs-lock-until-journal-initialization.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     Subject: reiserfs: delay reiserfs lock until journal initialization
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     reiserfs-delay-reiserfs-lock-until-journal-initialization.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/

Subject: reiserfs: delay reiserfs lock until journal initialization

In the mount path, transactions that are made before journal
initialization don't involve the filesystem.  We can delay the reiserfs
lock until we play with the journal.
