reiserfs: Fix reiserfs lock <-> i_xattr_sem dependency inversion
i_xattr_sem depends on the reiserfs lock. But after we grab i_xattr_sem, we may relax/relock the reiserfs lock while waiting on a freezed filesystem, creating a dependency inversion between the two locks. In order to avoid the i_xattr_sem -> reiserfs lock dependency, let's create a reiserfs_down_read_safe() that acts like reiserfs_mutex_lock_safe(): relax the reiserfs lock while grabbing another lock to avoid undesired dependencies induced by the heivyweight reiserfs lock. This fixes the following warning: [ 990.005931] ======================================================= [ 990.012373] [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] [ 990.013233] 2.6.33-rc1 #1 [ 990.013233] ------------------------------------------------------- [ 990.013233] dbench/1891 is trying to acquire lock: [ 990.013233] (&REISERFS_SB(s)->lock){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff81159505>] reiserfs_write_lock+0x35/0x50 [ 990.013233] [ 990.013233] but task is already holding lock: [ 990.013233] (&REISERFS_I(inode)->i_xattr_sem){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff8115899a>] reiserfs_xattr_set_handle+0x8a/0x470 [ 990.013233] [ 990.013233] which lock already depends on the new lock.
