xfs: concurrent readdir hangs on data buffer locks

Browse Source 
There's a three-process deadlock involving shared/exclusive barriers
and inverted lock orders in the directory readdir implementation.
It's a pre-existing problem with lock ordering, exposed by the
VFS parallelisation code.

process 1               process 2               process 3
---------               ---------               ---------
readdir
iolock(shared)
  get_leaf_dents
    iterate entries
       ilock(shared)
       map, lock and read buffer
       iunlock(shared)
       process entries in buffer
       .....
                                                readdir
                                                iolock(shared)
                                                  get_leaf_dents
                                                    iterate entries
                                                      ilock(shared)
                                                      map, lock buffer
                                                      <blocks>
                        finish ->iterate_shared
                        file_accessed()
                          ->update_time
                            start transaction
                            ilock(excl)
                            <blocks>
        .....
        finishes processing buffer
        get next buffer
          ilock(shared)
          <blocks>

And that's the deadlock.

Fix this by dropping the current buffer lock in process 1 before
trying to map the next buffer. This means we keep the lock order of
ilock -> buffer lock intact and hence will allow process 3 to make
progress and drop it's ilock(shared) once it is done.
