gsoc/ideas/diskfs_locking: Revert wording change
The new wording actually changes the meaning, to one which is wrong. The
most frequent cause of Hurd hangs are probably ext2fs hangs; but they
are *not* necessarily all caused by locking problems. (Actually most of
them used to be caused by exec issues at some point... Though I'm not
sure about the current situation.)
Making it less diskfs-specific is probably useful though. This needs
some further consideration.
