Subject: [PATCH] ocfs2: fix possible deadlock between unlink and
 dio_end_io_write

ocfs2_unlink takes orphan dir inode_lock first and then ip_alloc_sem,
while in ocfs2_dio_end_io_write, it acquires these locks in reverse order.
This creates an ABBA lock ordering violation on lock classes
ocfs2_sysfile_lock_key[ORPHAN_DIR_SYSTEM_INODE] and
ocfs2_file_ip_alloc_sem_key.

Lock Chain #0 (orphan dir inode_lock -> ip_alloc_sem):
ocfs2_unlink
  ocfs2_prepare_orphan_dir
    ocfs2_lookup_lock_orphan_dir
      inode_lock(orphan_dir_inode) <- lock A
    __ocfs2_prepare_orphan_dir
      ocfs2_prepare_dir_for_insert
        ocfs2_extend_dir
	  ocfs2_expand_inline_dir
	    down_write(&oi->ip_alloc_sem) <- Lock B

Lock Chain #1 (ip_alloc_sem -> orphan dir inode_lock):
ocfs2_dio_end_io_write
  down_write(&oi->ip_alloc_sem) <- Lock B
  ocfs2_del_inode_from_orphan()
    inode_lock(orphan_dir_inode) <- Lock A

Deadlock Scenario:
  CPU0 (unlink)                     CPU1 (dio_end_io_write)
  ------                            ------
  inode_lock(orphan_dir_inode)
                                    down_write(ip_alloc_sem)
  down_write(ip_alloc_sem)
                                    inode_lock(orphan_dir_inode)

Since ip_alloc_sem is to protect allocation changes, which is unrelated
with operations in ocfs2_del_inode_from_orphan.  So move
ocfs2_del_inode_from_orphan out of ip_alloc_sem to fix the deadlock.
