[45/90] ext4: EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT: Check for different original and donor inodes first

[Greg KH]

2.6.31-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
(cherry picked from commit f3ce8064b388ccf420012c5a4907aae4f13fe9d0)

Move the check to make sure the original and donor inodes are
different earlier, to avoid a potential deadlock by trying to lock the
same inode twice.
