btrfs: fix readdir deadlock with pagefault
Readdir does dir_emit while under the btree lock. dir_emit can trigger
the page fault which means we can deadlock. Fix this by allocating a
buffer on opening a directory and copying the readdir into this buffer
and doing dir_emit from outside of the tree lock.
Thread A
readdir <holding tree lock>
dir_emit
<page fault>
down_read(mmap_sem)
Thread B
mmap write
down_write(mmap_sem)
page_mkwrite
wait_ordered_extents
Process C
finish_ordered_extent
insert_reserved_file_extent
try to lock leaf <hang>
