ocfs2_fiemap() takes a read lock of the ip_alloc_sem semaphore (since
v2.6.22-527-g7307de80510a) and calls fiemap_fill_next_extent() to read the
extent list of this running mmap executable. The user supplied buffer to
hold the fiemap information page faults calling ocfs2_page_mkwrite() which
will take a write lock (since v2.6.27-38-g00dc417fa3e7) of the same
semaphore. This recursive semaphore will hold filesystem locks and causes
a hang of the fileystem.
The ip_alloc_sem protects the inode extent list and size. Release the
read semphore before calling fiemap_fill_next_extent() in ocfs2_fiemap()
and ocfs2_fiemap_inline(). This does an unnecessary semaphore lock/unlock
on the last extent but simplifies the error path.
