[PATCH] fs: xfs: fix a possible data race in xfs_inode_set_reclaim_tag()

From: Jia-Ju Bai

We find that xfs_inode_set_reclaim_tag() and xfs_reclaim_inode() are
concurrently executed at runtime in the following call contexts:

Thread1:
xfs_fs_put_super()
xfs_unmountfs()
xfs_rtunmount_inodes()
xfs_irele()
xfs_fs_destroy_inode()
xfs_inode_set_reclaim_tag()

Thread2:
xfs_reclaim_worker()
xfs_reclaim_inodes()
xfs_reclaim_inodes_ag()
xfs_reclaim_inode()

In xfs_inode_set_reclaim_tag():
pag = xfs_perag_get(mp, XFS_INO_TO_AGNO(mp, ip->i_ino));
...
spin_lock(&ip->i_flags_lock);

In xfs_reclaim_inode():
spin_lock(&ip->i_flags_lock);
...
ip->i_ino = 0;
spin_unlock(&ip->i_flags_lock);

Thus, a data race can occur for ip->i_ino.

To fix this data race, the spinlock ip->i_flags_lock is used to protect
the access to ip->i_ino in xfs_inode_set_reclaim_tag().

This data race is found by our concurrency fuzzer.
