[PATCH 6/6] f2fs: avoid double lock for cp_rwsem

[Jaegeuk Kim]

The __f2fs_add_link is covered by cp_rwsem all the time.
This calls init_inode_metadata, which conducts some acl operations including
memory allocation with GFP_KERNEL previously.
But, under memory pressure, f2fs_write_data_page can be called, which also
grabs cp_mutex too.
Basically, it's safe since down_read was used in both of cases, but it'd
better avoid this situation in advance.
