hfsplus: avoid deadlock on file truncation
After an extent is removed from the extent tree, the corresponding bits are also cleared from the block allocation file. This is currently done without releasing the tree lock. The problem is that the allocation file has extents of its own; if it is fragmented enough, some of them may be in the extent tree as well, and hfsplus_get_block() will try to take the lock again. To avoid deadlock, only hold the extent tree lock during the actual tree operations. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180709202549.auxwkb6memlegb4a@eafSigned-off-by: Ernesto A.
