ext4: fix locking typo in mballoc which could cause soft lockup hangs
Smatch (http://repo.or.cz/w/smatch.git/) complains about the locking in
ext4_mb_add_n_trim() from fs/ext4/mballoc.c
4438 list_for_each_entry_rcu(tmp_pa, &lg->lg_prealloc_list[order],
4439 pa_inode_list) {
4440 spin_lock(&tmp_pa->pa_lock);
4441 if (tmp_pa->pa_deleted) {
4442 spin_unlock(&pa->pa_lock);
4443 continue;
4444 }
Brown paper bag time...
