3.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Pavel Shilovsky <[email protected]> commit 689c3db4d57a73bee6c5ad7797fce7b54d32a87c upstream. If we request reading or writing on a file that needs to be reopened, it causes the deadlock: we are already holding rw semaphore for reading and then we try to acquire it for writing in cifs_relock_file. Fix this by acquiring the semaphore for reading in cifs_relock_file due to we don't make any changes in locks and don't need a write access.
