2.6.31-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
(cherry picked from commit fab3a549e204172236779f502eccb4f9bf0dc87d)

Fix the following potential circular locking dependency between
mm->mmap_sem and ei->i_data_sem:

=======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.32-04115-gec044c5 #37
-------------------------------------------------------
ureadahead/1855 is trying to acquire lock:
(&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<ffffffff81107224>] might_fault+0x5c/0xac

but task is already holding lock:
(&ei->i_data_sem){++++..}, at: [<ffffffff811be1fd>] ext4_fiemap+0x11b/0x159

which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
