[PATCH] xfs: take XFS_IOLOCK_EXCL if suid removal is required

[Eric Sandeen <sandeen@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This sequence:

# rm -f sparsefile
# truncate --size=1m sparsefile
# chmod ugo+rws sparsefile
# ls -l sparsefile
-rwSrwSrw-. 1 root root 1048576 Mar  6 10:29 sparsefile
# su tester

$ xfs_io -d -c "pwrite 0 4096" sparsefile
wrote 4096/4096 bytes at offset 0
4 KiB, 1 ops; 0.0000 sec (21.505 KiB/sec and 5.3763 ops/sec)
$ exit

will lead to a WARN_ON() in notify change, because i_mutex is
not held, and we get to notify_change via suid removal with
only XFS_IOLOCK_SHARED held, i.e. no i_mutex.

Upgrade the lock to XFS_IOLOCK_EXCL in this case.
