Yeah, makes more sense. Also maybe we could add a function helper like
the xfs_dir_canenter() call, it just check whether the replace operation
need more blocks,

 int xfs_dir_replace_needblock(...)
 {
 	xfs_dir_replace(tp, dp, name, 0, 0);
 }

I'm not sure if this approach is reasonable...

Actually, there are some different solutions for the locking fix. One solution
is checking whether the replace operation need more blocks and acquiring AGI
lock before AGF lock. Another one is moving xfs_droplink() call to before the
xfs_dir_replace() call, but this solution may not be suitable. The third one
is expanding the directory in one transaction, but I'm not sure about this
solution and have no idea how to do it... 
Comments about these solutions, which one is more reasonable?
