vfs: dcache: fix deadlock in tree traversal
IBM reported a deadlock in select_parent(). This was found to be caused
by taking rename_lock when already locked when restarting the tree
traversal.
There are two cases when the traversal needs to be restarted:
1) concurrent d_move(); this can only happen when not already locked,
since taking rename_lock protects against concurrent d_move().
2) racing with final d_put() on child just at the moment of ascending
to parent; rename_lock doesn't protect against this rare race, so it
can happen when already locked.
Because of case 2, we need to be able to handle restarting the traversal
when rename_lock is already held. This patch fixes all three callers of
try_to_ascend().
IBM reported that the deadlock is gone with this patch.
[ I rewrote the patch to be smaller and just do the "goto again" if the
lock was already held, but credit goes to Miklos for the real work.
