Subject: [21/42] udf: Fix deadlock when converting file from in-ICB one to normal one

3.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz>

commit d2eb8c359309ec45d6bf5b147303ab8e13be86ea upstream.

During BKL removal in 2.6.38, conversion of files from in-ICB format to normal
format got broken. We call ->writepage with i_data_sem held but udf_get_block()
also acquires i_data_sem thus creating A-A deadlock.

We fix the problem by dropping i_data_sem before calling ->writepage() which is
safe since i_mutex still protects us against any changes in the file. Also fix
pagelock - i_data_sem lock inversion in udf_expand_file_adinicb() by dropping
i_data_sem before calling find_or_create_page().
