[JFFS2] Fix race in setting file attributes
It seems like there is a potential race in the function jffs2_do_setattr() in the case when attributes of a symlink are updated. The symlink metadata is read without having f->sem locked. The following patch should fix the race. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Bazhenov <atrey@emcraft.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
