[PATCH 4.19 130/131] xfs: Fix deadlock between AGI and AGF with RENAME_WHITEOUT

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

commit bc56ad8c74b8588685c2875de0df8ab6974828ef upstream.

When performing rename operation with RENAME_WHITEOUT flag, we will
hold AGF lock to allocate or free extents in manipulating the dirents
firstly, and then doing the xfs_iunlink_remove() call last to hold
AGI lock to modify the tmpfile info, so we the lock order AGI->AGF.

The big problem here is that we have an ordering constraint on AGF
and AGI locking - inode allocation locks the AGI, then can allocate
a new extent for new inodes, locking the AGF after the AGI. Hence
the ordering that is imposed by other parts of the code is AGI before
AGF. So we get an ABBA deadlock between the AGI and AGF here.

In this patch we move the xfs_iunlink_remove() call to
before acquiring the AGF lock to preserve correct AGI/AGF locking
order.

[Minor massage required due to upstream change making xfs_bumplink() a
void function where as in the 4.19.y tree the return value is checked,
even though it is always zero. Only change was to the last code block
removed by the patch. Functionally equivalent to upstream.]
