nilfs2: fix lock order reversal in chcp operation
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Will fix the following lock order reversal lockdep detected:

=======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.32-rc6 #7
-------------------------------------------------------
chcp/30157 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&nilfs->ns_mount_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<fed7cfcc>] nilfs_cpfile_change_cpmode+0x46/0x752 [nilfs2]

but task is already holding lock:
 (&nilfs->ns_segctor_sem){++++.+}, at: [<fed7ca32>] nilfs_transaction_begin+0xba/0x110 [nilfs2]

which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
