PATCH 1/1 reiserfs: fix double-lock while chowning setuid file w/ xattrs

reiserfs_chown_xattrs() takes the iattr struct passed into ->setattr and uses it to iterate over all the attrs associated with a file to change ownership of xattrs (and transfer quota associated with the xattr files).

When a setuid file is chowned and the setuid bit is cleared, reiserfs_setattr gets called with both ATTR_MODE and ATTR_UID set. Since ATTR_MODE causes the ACL chmod code to be invoked, we end up calling reiserfs_acl_chmod on the xattr file. There's a missing IS_PRIVATE check there, so instead of bailing out immediately, we end up taking the inode->i_mutex a second time in open_xa_dir.

The other xattr paths are protected against similar situations by bailing out on IS_PRIVATE. This patch adds the missing check to reiserfs_acl_chmod.

Ignore this patch. It's incomplete. It avoids the double lock, but ATTR_MODE is applied to the directory as well.
