assert is tripped because the tran is not checkpointed and the lock level is PR.

Some time ago, chmod command had been executed. As result, the following call
chain left the inode cluster lock in PR state, latter on causing the assert.
system_call_fastpath
  -> my_chmod
   -> sys_chmod
    -> sys_fchmodat
     -> notify_change
      -> ocfs2_setattr
       -> posix_acl_chmod
        -> ocfs2_iop_set_acl
         -> ocfs2_set_acl
          -> ocfs2_acl_set_mode
Here is how.
1119 int ocfs2_setattr(struct dentry *dentry, struct iattr *attr)
1120 {
1247         ocfs2_inode_unlock(inode, 1); <<< WRONG thing to do.
..
1258         if (!status && attr->ia_valid & ATTR_MODE) {
1259                 status =  posix_acl_chmod(inode, inode->i_mode);

519 posix_acl_chmod(struct inode *inode, umode_t mode)
520 {
..
539         ret = inode->i_op->set_acl(inode, acl, ACL_TYPE_ACCESS);

287 int ocfs2_iop_set_acl(struct inode *inode, struct posix_acl *acl, ...
288 {
289         return ocfs2_set_acl(NULL, inode, NULL, type, acl, NULL, NULL);

224 int ocfs2_set_acl(handle_t *handle,
225                          struct inode *inode, ...
231 {
..
252                                 ret = ocfs2_acl_set_mode(inode, di_bh,
253                                                          handle, mode);

168 static int ocfs2_acl_set_mode(struct inode *inode, struct buffer_head ...
170 {
183         if (handle == NULL) {
                    >>> BUG: inode lock not held in ex at this point <<<
184                 handle = ocfs2_start_trans(OCFS2_SB(inode->i_sb),
185                                            OCFS2_INODE_UPDATE_CREDITS);

ocfs2_setattr.#1247 we unlock and at #1259 call posix_acl_chmod. When we reach
ocfs2_acl_set_mode.#181 and do trans, the inode cluster lock is not held in EX
mode (it should be). How this could have happended?

We are the lock master, were holding lock EX and have released it in
ocfs2_setattr.#1247.  Note that there are no holders of this lock at
this point.  Another node needs the lock in PR, and we downconvert from
EX to PR.  So the inode lock is PR when do the trans in
ocfs2_acl_set_mode.#184.  The trans stays in core (not flushed to disc).
Now another node want the lock in EX, downconvert thread gets kicked
(the one that tripped assert abovt), finds an unflushed trans but the
lock is not EX (it is PR).  If the lock was at EX, it would have flushed
the trans ocfs2_ci_checkpointed -> ocfs2_start_checkpoint before
downconverting (to NULL) for the request.

ocfs2_setattr must not drop inode lock ex in this code path.  If it
does, takes it again before the trans, say in ocfs2_set_acl, another
cluster node can get in between, execute another setattr, overwriting
the one in progress on this node, resulting in a mode acl size combo
that is a mix of the two.
