afs: Fix race between post-modification dir edit and readdir/d_revali…
…date AFS directories are retained locally as a structured file, with lookup being effected by a local search of the file contents. When a modification (such as mkdir) happens, the dir file content is modified locally rather than redownloading the directory. The directory contents are accessed in a number of ways, with a number of different locks schemes: (1) Download of contents - dvnode->validate_lock/write in afs_read_dir(). (2) Lookup and readdir - dvnode->validate_lock/read in afs_dir_iterate(), downgrading from (1) if necessary. (3) d_revalidate of child dentry - dvnode->validate_lock/read in afs_do_lookup_one() downgrading from (1) if necessary. (4) Edit of dir after modification - page locks on individual dir pages. Unfortunately, because (4) uses different locking scheme to (1) - (3), nothing protects against the page being scanned whilst the edit is underway. Even download is not safe as it doesn't lock the pages - relying instead on the validate_lock to serialise as a whole (the theory being that directory contents are treated as a block and always downloaded as a block). Fix this by write-locking dvnode->validate_lock around the edits. Care must be taken in the rename case as there may be two different dirs - but they need not be locked at the same time. In any case, once the lock is taken, the directory version must be rechecked, and the edit skipped if a later version has been downloaded by revalidation (there can't have been any local changes because the VFS holds the inode lock, but there can have been remote changes).
