I don't think Roberto's patch identified above is the actual root
cause of this problem as reiserfs_xattr_set_handle() is called in
reiserfs_security_write() both before and after the patch.  However,
due to some bad logic in reiserfs_security_write() which Roberto
corrected, I'm thinking that it is possible this code is being
exercised for the first time and syzbot is starting to trigger a
locking issue in the reiserfs code ... ?
