Subject[PATCH 3.2 183/200] hpfs: deadlock and race in directory lseek()
3.2.56-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

commit 31abdab9c11bb1694ecd1476a7edbe8e964d94ac upstream.

For one thing, there's an ABBA deadlock on hpfs fs-wide lock and i_mutex
in hpfs_dir_lseek() - there's a lot of methods that grab the former with
the caller already holding the latter, so it must take i_mutex first.

For another, locking the damn thing, carefully validating the offset,
then dropping locks and assigning the offset is obviously racy.

Moreover, we _must_ do hpfs_add_pos(), or the machinery in dnode.c
won't modify the sucker on B-tree surgeries.
