    ocfs2: Fix quota locking · fb8dd8d7

    OCFS2 had three issues with quota locking:
    a) When reading dquot from global quota file, we started a transaction while
       holding dqio_mutex which is prone to deadlocks because other paths do it
       the other way around
    b) During ocfs2_sync_dquot we were not protected against concurrent writers
       on the same node. Because we first copy data to local buffer, a race
       could happen resulting in old data being written to global quota file and
       thus causing quota inconsistency after a crash.
    c) ip_alloc_sem of quota files was acquired while a transaction is started
       in ocfs2_quota_write which can deadlock because we first get ip_alloc_sem
       and then start a transaction when extending quota files.
    
    We fix the problem a) by pulling all necessary code to ocfs2_acquire_dquot
    and ocfs2_release_dquot. Thus we no longer depend on generic dquot_acquire
    to do the locking and can force proper lock ordering.
    
    Problems b) and c) are fixed by locking i_mutex and ip_alloc_sem of
    global quota file in ocfs2_lock_global_qf and removing ip_alloc_sem from
    ocfs2_quota_read and ocfs2_quota_write.
