ocfs2: fix a tiny race when running dirop_fileop_racer
When running dirop_fileop_racer we found a dead lock case. 2 nodes, say Node A and Node B, mount the same ocfs2 volume. Create /race/16/1 in the filesystem, and let the inode number of dir 16 is less than the inode number of dir race. Node A Node B mv /race/16/1 /race/ right after Node A has got the EX mode of /race/16/, and tries to get EX mode of /race ls /race/16/ In this case, Node A has got the EX mode of /race/16/, and wants to get EX mode of /race/. Node B has got the PR mode of /race/, and wants to get the PR mode of /race/16/. Since EX and PR are mutually exclusive, dead lock happens. This patch fixes this case by locking in ancestor order before trying inode number order.
