Subject: [PATCH] ocfs2: Fix circular locking dependency in ocfs2_del_inode_from_orphan()

A possible circular locking dependency in ocfs2_del_inode_from_orphan()
is detected by syzbot, which occurs due to change in the sequence of
acquiring locks. The existing chain is:

&ocfs2_sysfile_lock_key[ORPHAN_DIR_SYSTEM_INODE] --> &dquot->dq_lock --> 
&ocfs2_quota_ip_alloc_sem_key

In ocfs2_dio_end_io_write(), &ocfs2_quota_ip_alloc_sem_key is acquired,
and then ocfs2_del_inode_from_orphan() is called, which acquires
&ocfs2_sysfile_lock_key[ORPHAN_DIR_SYSTEM_INODE]. This opposes the
existing dependency chain:

Fix this by acquiring &ocfs2_quota_ip_alloc_sem_key after acquiring
&ocfs2_sysfile_lock_key[ORPHAN_DIR_SYSTEM_INODE], effectively calling
down_write(&oi->ip_alloc_sem) after the call to
ocfs2_del_inode_from_orphan().
