    From: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

    upstream commit: e7c9e3e99adf6c49c5d593a51375916acc039d1e

    Smatch (http://repo.or.cz/w/smatch.git/) complains about the locking in
    ext4_mb_add_n_trim() from fs/ext4/mballoc.c

    4438 list_for_each_entry_rcu(tmp_pa, &lg->lg_prealloc_list[order],
    4439 pa_inode_list) {
    4440 spin_lock(&tmp_pa->pa_lock);
    4441 if (tmp_pa->pa_deleted) {
    4442 spin_unlock(&pa->pa_lock);
    4443 continue;
    4444 }
