list_bl would crash with BUG() if we used it without locking. dm-snapshot 
uses its own locking on realtime kernels (it can't use list_bl because 
list_bl uses raw spinlock and dm-snapshot takes other non-raw spinlocks 
while holding bl_lock).

To avoid this BUG, we must set LIST_BL_LOCKMASK = 0.

This patch is intended only for the realtime kernel patchset, not for the 
upstream kernel.
