If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Artem Bityutskiy commit 07e19dff63e3d5d6500d831e36554ac9b1b0560e upstream. The 'mst_mutex' is not needed since because 'ubifs_write_master()' is only called on the mount path and commit path. The mount path is sequential and there is no parallelism, and the commit path is also serialized - there is only one commit going on at a time.
