hpfs: deadlock and race in directory lseek()
For one thing, there's an ABBA deadlock on hpfs fs-wide lock and i_mutex in hpfs_dir_lseek() - there's a lot of methods that grab the former with the caller already holding the latter, so it must take i_mutex first. For another, locking the damn thing, carefully validating the offset, then dropping locks and assigning the offset is obviously racy. Moreover, we _must_ do hpfs_add_pos(), or the machinery in dnode.c won't modify the sucker on B-tree surgeries. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
