Yes, this code is indeed one of the areas that breaks when you use
the sunrpc code without the BKL. Another one was the missing spinlock
in xprt_alloc_xid. The code in fs/nfs/unlink.c is probably also racy
without BKL.

So if you remove the sunrpc BKL be prepared for lots and lots
of bug reports :)
