The assert in function file_seek_cur_needs_f_lock() can be triggered very
easily because there are many users of vfs_llseek() (such as overlayfs)
that do their custom locking around llseek instead of relying on
fdget_pos(). Just drop the overzealous assertion.
Fixes: da06e3c517 ("fs: don't needlessly acquire f_lock")

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 reStructuredText 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.
