Subject: [PATCH v1] fs: Move might_sleep() annotation to iput_final()
Author: mic@digikod.net

iput() don't directly call any sleepable code but mostly checks flags
and decrement a reference counter before calling iput_final() and then
evict().

Some code might call iput() with guarantees that iput_final() will not
be called.  This is the case for Landlock's hook_sb_delete() where the
inode counter must de decremented while holding it with another
reference, see comment above the first iput() call.

Move the new might_sleep() call from iput() to iput_final().  The
alternative would be to manually decrement the counter without calling
iput(), but it doesn't seem right.

From hook_sb_delete():

	/*
	 * At this point, we own the ihold() reference that was
	 * originally set up by get_inode_object() and the
	 * __iget() reference that we just set in this loop
	 * walk.  Therefore the following call to iput() will
	 * not sleep nor drop the inode because there is now at
	 * least two references to it.

	iput(inode);
