[PATCH 82/94] ext4: fix a potential deadlock in __ext4_es_shrink()

[Sam Asadi <asadi.samuel@gmail.com>]

From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

This fixes the following lockdep complaint:

[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
3.16.0-rc2-mm1+ #7 Tainted: G           O
-------------------------------------------------------
kworker/u24:0/4356 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&(&sbi->s_es_lru_lock)->rlock){+.+.-.}, at: [<ffffffff81285fff>] __ext4_es_shrink+0x4f/0x2e0

but task is already holding lock:
 (&ei->i_es_lock){++++-.}, at: [<ffffffff81286961>] ext4_es_insert_extent+0x71/0x180

which lock already depends on the new lock.

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&ei->i_es_lock);
                               lock(&(&sbi->s_es_lru_lock)->rlock);
                               lock(&ei->i_es_lock);
  lock(&(&sbi->s_es_lru_lock)->rlock);
