Subject: [net PATCH v3 1/3] net: netprio: fix files lock and remove useless d_path bits

From: John Fastabend <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 14 Aug 2012 15:34:24 -0700

Add lock to prevent a race with a file closing and also remove
useless and ugly sscanf code. The extra code was never needed
and the case it supposedly protected against is in fact handled
correctly by sock_from_file as pointed out by Al Viro.
