Well, it could affect behavior. It changes the lock from the
GlobalMid_lock to a completely different one. It's always hard to tell
exactly what the effect will be of breaking up a coarse-grained lock
like that.

The locks are taken in the same place however. If there truly is no
relationship between the cifs_oplock_list and the other things
protected by the mid lock, then yes there should be no behavior change.
