[PATCH] reiserfs: Don't acquire lock recursively in reiserfs_acl_chmod

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Tue Nov 30 2010 - 16:09:42 EST


reiserfs_acl_chmod() can be called by reiserfs_set_attr() and then
take the reiserfs lock a second time. Thereafter it may call
journal_begin() that definetly requires the lock not to be nested
in order to release it before taking the journal mutex because
the reiserfs lock depends on the journal mutex already.

So, prevent from nesting the lock in reiserfs_acl_chmod().
