f2fs: avoid double lock for cp_rwsem
The __f2fs_add_link is covered by cp_rwsem all the time. This calls init_inode_metadata, which conducts some acl operations including memory allocation with GFP_KERNEL previously. But, under memory pressure, f2fs_write_data_page can be called, which also grabs cp_rwsem too. In this case, this incurs a deadlock pointed by Chao. Thread #1 Thread #2 down_read down_write down_read -> here down_read should wait forever. Reviewed-by: Chao Yu <chao2.yu@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk@kernel.org>
