[PATCH 07/13] vfs: lock_two_nondirectories: allow directory args

From: Miklos Szeredi
Date: Fri Feb 07 2014 - 11:48:54 EST


From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxx>

lock_two_nondirectories warned if either of its args was a directory.
Instead just ignore the directory args. This is needed for locking in
cross rename.
