Commit 743b5f1434f5 ("ocfs2: take inode lock in ocfs2_iop_set/get_acl()")
results in a deadlock, as the author "Tariq Saeed" realized shortly
after the patch was merged. The discussion happened here
(https://oss.oracle.com/pipermail/ocfs2-devel/2015-September/011085.html).

The reason why taking cluster inode lock at vfs entry points opens up
a self deadlock window, is explained in the previous patch of this
series.

So far, we have seen two different code paths that have this issue.
1. do_sys_open
may_open
inode_permission
ocfs2_permission
ocfs2_inode_lock() <=== take PR
generic_permission
get_acl
ocfs2_iop_get_acl
ocfs2_inode_lock() <=== take PR
2. fchmod|fchmodat
chmod_common
notify_change
ocfs2_setattr <=== take EX
posix_acl_chmod
get_acl
ocfs2_iop_get_acl <=== take PR
ocfs2_iop_set_acl <=== take EX

Fixes them by adding the tracking logic (in the previous patch) for
these funcs above, ocfs2_permission(), ocfs2_iop_[set|get]_acl(),
ocfs2_setattr().

If had_lock==true, it is a bug? I think we should BUG_ON for it, that
can help us catch bug at the first time.

Good idea! But I'm not sure if "ocfs2_setattr" is always the first one who takes the cluster lock.
It's harder for me to name all the possible paths;-/

The same thing as ocfs2_setattr.
OK. I will think over your suggestions!
