ubifs: Set/Clear I_LINKABLE under i_lock for whiteout inode



[ Upstream commit a801fcfe ]

xfstests-generic/476 reports a warning message as below:

WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 30347 at fs/inode.c:361 inc_nlink+0x52/0x70
Call Trace:
  do_rename+0x502/0xd40 [ubifs]

Following race case can cause this:

ubifs_rename
  do_rename
                                          __writeback_single_inode

    whiteout->i_state |= I_LINKABLE
                                            inode->i_state &= ~dirty;
---- How race happens on i_state:
    (tmp = whiteout->i_state | I_LINKABLE)
		                           (tmp = inode->i_state & ~dirty)
    (whiteout->i_state = tmp)
		                           (inode->i_state = tmp)
----
					    spin_unlock(&inode->i_lock)
    inc_nlink(whiteout)
    WARN_ON(!(inode->i_state & I_LINKABLE)) !!!

Fix to add i_lock to avoid i_state update race condition.
