Subject: ocfs2: fix deadlock issue when taking inode lock at vfs entry points
Commit 743b5f1434f5 ("ocfs2: take inode lock in ocfs2_iop_set/get_acl()")
results in a deadlock, as the author "Tariq Saeed" realized shortly after
the patch was merged. The discussion happened here
(https://oss.oracle.com/pipermail/ocfs2-devel/2015-September/011085.html).
The reason why taking cluster inode lock at vfs entry points opens up a
self deadlock window, is explained in the previous patch of this series.
So far, we have seen two different code paths that have this issue.
1. do_sys_open
may_open
inode_permission
ocfs2_permission
ocfs2_inode_lock() <=== take PR
generic_permission
get_acl
ocfs2_iop_get_acl
ocfs2_inode_lock() <=== take PR
2. fchmod|fchmodat
chmod_common
notify_change
ocfs2_setattr <=== take EX
posix_acl_chmod
get_acl
ocfs2_iop_get_acl <=== take PR
ocfs2_iop_set_acl <=== take EX
Fixes them by adding the tracking logic (in the previous patch) for these
funcs above, ocfs2_permission(), ocfs2_iop_[set|get]_acl(),
ocfs2_setattr().
