PREEMPT_RT's rtmutex PI chain walker warns about a lock dependency cycle
when inode_lock(orphan_dir_inode) is called while holding
inode_lock(file_inode):
ocfs2_file_write_iter()
inode_lock(file_inode) [class 0]
ocfs2_dio_end_io_write()
ocfs2_del_inode_from_orphan()
inode_lock(orphan_dir_inode) [class 0] <- warning!
However this is a false positive. write_iter() is never called on a
directory, and orphan_dir is always a directory, so these two locks can
never actually conflict in practice.
Fix by using inode_lock_nested(orphan_dir_inode, I_MUTEX_NONDIR2) in all
three places where orphan_dir_inode is locked in namei.c, placing it in a
separate lock class so the rtmutex PI chain walker understands these locks
have distinct roles and does not warn about their ordering.
