Mark Syms has reported seeing tasks that are stuck waiting in find_insert_glock. It turns out that struct lm_lockname contains four padding bytes on 64-bit architectures that function glock_waitqueue doesn't skip when hashing the glock name. As a result, we can end up waking up the wrong waitqueue, and the waiting tasks may be stuck forever. Fix that by using ht_parms.key_len instead of sizeof(struct lm_lockname) for the key length.

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.
