That comment is a left over from the original version of 
bhv_base_unlocked.

The function originally would lock the behavior chain when doing
the lookup here, the the unlocked portion of the name.

The unlocked in the function name was to signify the caller has
not taken a read lock on the behavior chain and therefore the
function is required to take the lock.

One the linux the behavior chains are static once they are set up at mount time
 and not dynamically changing, therefore the locks were dropped from the linux
implementation of behaviors.

That comment should probably be removed as it is mis-leading.
