[PATCH] Take i_mutex in splice_from_pipe()
The splice_actor may be calling ->prepare_write() and ->commit_write(). We
want i_mutex on the inode being written to before calling those so that we
don't race i_size changes.
The double locking behavior is done elsewhere in splice.c, and if we
eventually want _nolock variants of generic_file_splice_write(), fs modules
might have to replicate the nasty locking code. We introduce
inode_double_lock() and inode_double_unlock() to consolidate the locking
rules into one set of functions.
