xfs: release the dquot buf outside of qli_lock
commit 1aacd3fac248902ea1f7607f2d12b93929a4833b upstream. Lai Yi reported a lockdep complaint about circular locking: Chain exists of: &lp->qli_lock --> &bch->bc_lock --> &l->lock Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(&l->lock); lock(&bch->bc_lock); lock(&l->lock); lock(&lp->qli_lock); I /think/ the problem here is that xfs_dquot_attach_buf during quotacheck will release the buffer while it's holding the qli_lock. Because this is a cached buffer, xfs_buf_rele_cached takes b_lock before decrementing b_hold. Other threads have taught lockdep that a locking dependency chain is bp->b_lock -> bch->bc_lock -> l(ru)->lock; and that another chain is l(ru)->lock -> lp->qli_lock. Hence we do not want to take b_lock while holding qli_lock.
