fs: Push mnt_want_write() outside of i_mutex
Currently, mnt_want_write() is sometimes called with i_mutex held and sometimes without it. This isn't really a problem because mnt_want_write() is a non-blocking operation (essentially has a trylock semantics) but when the function starts to handle also frozen filesystems, it will get a full lock semantics and thus proper lock ordering has to be established. So move all mnt_want_write() calls outside of i_mutex. One non-trivial case needing conversion is kern_path_create() / user_path_create() which didn't include mnt_want_write() but now needs to because it acquires i_mutex. Because there are virtual file systems which don't bother with freeze / remount-ro protection we actually provide both versions of the function - one which calls mnt_want_write() and one which does not. [AV: scratch the previous, mnt_want_write() has been moved to kern_path_create() by now] Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
