xfs: fix locking in xfs_iget_cache_hit
The locking in xfs_iget_cache_hit currently has numerous problems:
- we clear the reclaim tag without i_flags_lock which protects
modifications to it
- we call inode_init_always which can sleep with pag_ici_lock
held (this is oss.sgi.com BZ #819)
- we acquire and drop i_flags_lock a lot and thus provide no
consistency between the various flags we set/clear under it
This patch fixes all that with a major revamp of the locking in
the function. The new version acquires i_flags_lock early and
only drops it once we need to call into inode_init_always or before
calling xfs_ilock.
This patch fixes a bug seen in the wild where we race modifying the
reclaim tag.
