From: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit d1aa0c04294e29883d65eac6c2f72fe95cc7c049 upstream.

Revert d949d1d14fa2 ("mm: shmem: fix data-race in shmem_getattr()") as
suggested by Chuck [1].  It is causing deadlocks when accessing tmpfs over
NFS.

As Hugh commented, "added just to silence a syzbot sanitizer splat: added
where there has never been any practical problem".
