commit f5de5b83303e61b1f3fb09bd77ce3ac2d7a475f2 upstream.

In ubifs, concurrent execution of writepage and bulk read on the same file
may cause ABBA deadlock, for example (Reproduce method see Link):

Process A(Bulk-read starts from page4)         Process B(write page4 back)
  vfs_read                                       wb_workfn or fsync
  ...                                            ...
  generic_file_buffered_read                     write_cache_pages
    ubifs_readpage                                 LOCK(page4)

      ubifs_bulk_read                              ubifs_writepage
        LOCK(ui->ui_mutex)                           ubifs_write_inode

	  ubifs_do_bulk_read                           LOCK(ui->ui_mutex)
	    find_or_create_page(alloc page4)                  ↑
	      LOCK(page4)                   <--     ABBA deadlock occurs!

In order to ensure the serialization execution of bulk read, we can't
remove the big lock 'ui->ui_mutex' in ubifs_bulk_read(). Instead, we
allow ubifs_do_bulk_read() to lock page failed by replacing
find_or_create_page(FGP_LOCK) with
pagecache_get_page(FGP_LOCK | FGP_NOWAIT).
