Subject: tty: keyboard.c: Remove locking from vt_get_leds.
X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=157a4b311c45c9aba75a990464d9680867dc8805;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git

tty: keyboard.c: Remove locking from vt_get_leds.

There are three call sites for this function, and all three
are called within a keyboard handler.
kbd_event_lock is already held within keyboard handlers,
so attempting to lock it in vt_get_leds causes deadlock.
