NTFS: 2.1.28 - Fix deadlock reported by Sergey Vlasov due to ntfs_put_inode().
- Fix deadlock in fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_put_inode(). Thanks to Sergey
Vlasov for the report and detailed analysis of the deadlock. The fix
involved getting rid of ntfs_put_inode() altogether and hence NTFS no
longer has a ->put_inode super operation.
