Jan Kara 53e872681f ext4: fix deadlock in journal_unmap_buffer()
We cannot wait for transaction commit in journal_unmap_buffer()
because we hold page lock which ranks below transaction start.  We
solve the issue by bailing out of journal_unmap_buffer() and
jbd2_journal_invalidatepage() with -EBUSY.  Caller is then responsible
for waiting for transaction commit to finish and try invalidation
again. Since the issue can happen only for page stradding i_size, it
is simple enough to manually call jbd2_journal_invalidatepage() for
such page from ext4_setattr(), check the return value and wait if
necessary.
