[PATCH] coda: fix possible data race around sb->s_fs_info access

[Tuo Li]

The struct field s_fs_info is often protected by the lock vc_mutex when is 
accessed. Here is an example in coda_put_super():

  mutex_lock(&vcp->vc_mutex);
  vcp->vc_sb = NULL;
  sb->s_fs_info = NULL;
  mutex_unlock(&vcp->vc_mutex);

However, sb->s_fs_info is accessed after the lock vc->vc_mutex is unlocked 
in coda_fill_super()

  vc->vc_sb = sb;
  mutex_unlock(&vc->vc_mutex);

  sb->s_fs_info = vc;

And thus can cause a data race when another thread access sb->s_fs_info 
concurrently.

To fix this possible data race, the instruction to unlock vc->vc_mutex is 
moved in front of the access to sb->s_fs_info.
