ocfs2: revert using ocfs2_acl_chmod to avoid inode cluster lock hang



Commit 743b5f14 ("ocfs2: take inode lock in ocfs2_iop_set/get_acl()")
introduced this issue.  ocfs2_setattr called by chmod command holds
cluster wide inode lock when calling posix_acl_chmod.  This latter
function in turn calls ocfs2_iop_get_acl and ocfs2_iop_set_acl.  These
two are also called directly from vfs layer for getfacl/setfacl commands
and therefore acquire the cluster wide inode lock.  If a remote
conversion request comes after the first inode lock in ocfs2_setattr,
OCFS2_LOCK_BLOCKED will be set.  And this will cause the second call to
inode lock from the ocfs2_iop_get_acl() to block indefinetly.

The deleted version of ocfs2_acl_chmod() calls __posix_acl_chmod() which
does not call back into the filesystem.  Therefore, we restore
ocfs2_acl_chmod(), modify it slightly for locking as needed, and use that
instead.
