f2fs: fix to avoid deadlock in f2fs_read_inline_dir()
As Jiqun Li reported in bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202883
sometimes, dead lock when make system call SYS_getdents64 with fsync() is
called by another process.
monkey running on android9.0
1. task 9785 held sbi->cp_rwsem and waiting lock_page()
2. task 10349 held mm_sem and waiting sbi->cp_rwsem
3. task 9709 held lock_page() and waiting mm_sem
so this is a dead lock scenario.
task stack is show by crash tools as following

Below potential deadlock will happen between three threads:
Thread A Thread B Thread C
- f2fs_do_sync_file
- f2fs_write_checkpoint
- down_write(&sbi->node_change) -- 1)
- do_page_fault
- down_write(&mm->mmap_sem) -- 2)
- do_wp_page
- f2fs_vm_page_mkwrite
- getdents64
- f2fs_read_inline_dir
- lock_page -- 3)
- f2fs_sync_node_pages
- lock_page -- 3)
- __do_map_lock
- down_read(&sbi->node_change) -- 1)
- f2fs_fill_dentries
- dir_emit
- compat_filldir64
- do_page_fault
- down_read(&mm->mmap_sem) -- 2)
Since f2fs_readdir is protected by inode.i_rwsem, there should not be
any updates in inode page, we're safe to lookup dents in inode page
without its lock held, so taking off the lock to improve concurrency
of readdir and avoid potential deadlock.
