Subject: [PATCH 4.9 22/25] ocfs2: should wait dio before inode lock in ocfs2_setattr()

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

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

From: alex chen <alex.chen@...wei.com>

commit 28f5a8a7c033cbf3e32277f4cc9c6afd74f05300 upstream.

we should wait dio requests to finish before inode lock in
ocfs2_setattr(), otherwise the following deadlock will happen:

process 1                  process 2                    process 3
truncate file 'A'          end_io of writing file 'A'   receiving the bast messages
ocfs2_setattr
 ocfs2_inode_lock_tracker
  ocfs2_inode_lock_full
 inode_dio_wait
  __inode_dio_wait
  -->waiting for all dio
  requests finish

                                                            set OCFS2_LOCK_BLOCKED flag

                               -->waiting for OCFS2_LOCK_BLOCKED
                               flag to be cleared, that is waiting
                               for 'process 1' unlocking the inode lock
                           inode_dio_end
                           -->here dec the i_dio_count, but will never
                           be called, so a deadlock happened.
