nfsd: allow fh_want_write to be called twice
A fuzzer recently triggered lockdep warnings about potential sb_writers deadlocks caused by fh_want_write(). Looks like we aren't careful to pair each fh_want_write() with an fh_drop_write(). It's not normally a problem since fh_put() will call fh_drop_write() for us. And was OK for NFSv3 where we'd do one operation that might call fh_want_write(), and then put the filehandle. But an NFSv4 protocol fuzzer can do weird things like call unlink twice in a compound, and then we get into trouble. I'm a little worried about this approach of just leaving everything to fh_put(). But I think there are probably a lot of fh_want_write()/fh_drop_write() imbalances so for now I think we need it to be more forgiving. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@redhat.com>
