include/linux/fs.h: disable preempt when acquire i_size_seqcount write lock



Two rt tasks bind to one CPU core.

The higher priority rt task A preempts a lower priority rt task B which
has already taken the write seq lock, and then the higher priority rt
task A try to acquire read seq lock, it's doomed to lockup.

rt task A with lower priority: call write
i_size_write                                        rt task B with higher priority: call sync, and preempt task A
  write_seqcount_begin(&inode->i_size_seqcount);    i_size_read
  inode->i_size = i_size;                             read_seqcount_begin <-- lockup here...

So disable preempt when acquiring every i_size_seqcount *write* lock will
cure the problem.
