Fix a race condition in FASYNC handling
Changeset a238b790d5
(Call fasync()
functions without the BKL) introduced a race which could leave
file->f_flags in a state inconsistent with what the underlying
driver/filesystem believes. Revert that change, and also fix the same
races in ioctl_fioasync() and ioctl_fionbio().
This is a minimal, short-term fix; the real fix will not involve the
BKL.
