This patch removes the ls_remove_wait waitqueue handling. The current handling tries to wait before a lookup is send out for a identically resource name which is going to be removed. Hereby the remove message should be send out before the new lookup message. The reason is that after a lookup request and response will actually use the specific remote rsb. A followed remove message would delete the rsb on the remote side but it's still being used. To reach a similar behaviour we simple send the remove message out while the rsb lookup lock is held and the rsb is removed from the toss list. Other find_rsb() calls would never have the change to get a rsb back to live while a remove message will be send out (without holding the lock). This behaviour requires a non-sleepable context which should be provided now and might be the reason why it was not implemented so in the first place.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
