Subject: [PATCH]ext4: Add checks whether two inodes are different

ext4: Add checks whether two inodes are different to move_extent.c

From: Akira Fujita <a-fujita@...jp.nec.com>

If same inode is set to orig and donor in ext4_move_extensts(),
this leads to the deadlock in mext_double_down_{read, write}.
This patch adds checks to mext_double_{down, up}_{read, write}
and if inodes are same, we take/release one semaphore from them.
