Zhihao Cheng a801fcfeef ubifs: Set/Clear I_LINKABLE under i_lock for whiteout inode
xfstests-generic/476 reports a warning message as below:

WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 30347 at fs/inode.c:361 inc_nlink+0x52/0x70

    whiteout->i_state |= I_LINKABLE
                                            inode->i_state &= ~dirty;
---- How race happens on i_state:
    (tmp = whiteout->i_state | I_LINKABLE)
		                           (tmp = inode->i_state & ~dirty)
    (whiteout->i_state = tmp)
		                           (inode->i_state = tmp)
----
					    spin_unlock(&inode->i_lock)
    inc_nlink(whiteout)
    WARN_ON(!(inode->i_state & I_LINKABLE)) !!!

Fix to add i_lock to avoid i_state update race condition.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
