[PATCH] fs/namei.c: Call to file_permission() under a spinlock in do_lookup_path()

From: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

We're presently running lock_kernel() under fs_lock via nfs's ->permission
handler.  That's a ranking bug and sometimes a sleep-in-spinlock bug.  This
problem was introduced in the openat() patchset.

We should not need to hold the current->fs->lock for a codepath that doesn't
use current->fs.
