[PATCH] Revert "lockless next_positive()"

[zhengbin <zhengbin13@xxxxxxxxxx>]

[ This reverts commit ebaaa80e8f20 ("lockless next_positive()"),
To avoid the following oops. Of course, we can still find a
better way, I suggest revert this first. ]

Use a script to test kernel(arm64) in the following steps:
(filesystem is tmpfs, dirA already have 10 files, dirB
have 12 files)
1. keep open filenotexist(O_RDWR) in dirA
2. keep open filenotexist(O_RDWR) in dirB
3. keep ls dirB

After 10 minutes, there will be an oops:
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 00000000003564ad
Process ls (pid: 142652, stack limit = 0x0000000055c452f6)
Call trace:
 dcache_readdir+0xf8/0x1b0
 iterate_dir+0x8c/0x1a8
 ksys_getdents64+0xa4/0x190
 __arm64_sys_getdents64+0x28/0x38
 el0_svc_common+0x78/0x130
 el0_svc_handler+0x38/0x78
 el0_svc+0x8/0xc

The reason is as follows:
1. dirA create new dentryA(dentryA->next = fileA1), and will delete it
lookup_open
  d_alloc_parallel
    d_alloc
    dput -->prev allocated dentry has been added to dentry_hashtable

dput remove dentryA from dirA, dentryA->next is still fileA1.

2. dirB create new dentry(use dentryA), and add it to dirB
d_alloc -->This will need dirB shared lock
   __d_alloc
     INIT_LIST_HEAD(&dentry->d_child)
   spin_lock(&parent->d_lock)
   list_add(&dentry->d_child, &parent->d_subdirs)

3. At the same time, ls dirB -->This will need dirB shared lock
dcache_readdir
  p = &dentry->d_subdirs
  next_positive
    p = from->next

Although d_alloc has spin_lock, next_positive does not have it since
commit ebaaa80e8f20 ("lockless next_positive()").

In arm64, CPU may run out of order. Maybe set parent->d_subdirs->next
first, while dentry->d_child.next is still uninitialized.

dentryA->next is still fileA1, So ls dirB will goto fileA1 which
belongs to dirA, thus oops happens.
