Subject: ocfs2: fix deadlock caused by ocfs2_defrag_extent

ocfs2_defrag_extent may fall into deadlock.

ocfs2_ioctl_move_extents
ocfs2_ioctl_move_extents
ocfs2_move_extents
ocfs2_defrag_extent
ocfs2_lock_allocators_move_extents

ocfs2_reserve_clusters
inode_lock GLOBAL_BITMAP_SYSTEM_INODE

__ocfs2_flush_truncate_log
inode_lock GLOBAL_BITMAP_SYSTEM_INODE

As backtrace shows above, ocfs2_reserve_clusters() will call inode_lock
against the global bitmap if local allocator has not sufficient cluters.
Once global bitmap could meet the demand, ocfs2_reserve_cluster will
return success with global bitmap locked.

After ocfs2_reserve_cluster(), if truncate log is full,
__ocfs2_flush_truncate_log() will definitely fall into deadlock because it
needs to inode_lock global bitmap, which has already been locked.

To fix this bug, we could remove from ocfs2_lock_allocators_move_extents()
the code which intends to lock global allocator, and put the removed code
after __ocfs2_flush_truncate_log().

ocfs2_lock_allocators_move_extents() is refered by 2 places, one is here,
the other does not need the data allocator context, which means this patch
does not affect the caller so far.

[lchen@xxxxxxxx: rename ocfs2_lock_allocators_move_extents() to ocfs2_lock_meta_allocator_move_extents(), add some comments]

After removing 'reserving clusters logic' out of this function, I suggest to also change the function header comments.
And I think there is no need for arguments _data_ac_ now.
Otherwise this patch looks sane to me.

Thanks,
