[PATCH] nfsd: Prevent truncation of an unlinked inode from blocking access to its directory

[Nick Huang <nickhuang@synology.com>]

From: Yu Hsiang Huang <nickhuang@synology.com>

Truncation of an unlinked inode may take a long time for I/O waiting, and
it doesn't have to prevent access to the directory. Thus, let truncation
occur outside the directory's mutex, just like do_unlinkat() does.
