ceph: take the inode lock before acquiring cap refs Most of the time, we (or the vfs layer) takes the inode_lock and then acquires caps, but ceph_read_iter does the opposite, and that can lead to a deadlock. When there are multiple clients treading over the same data, we can end up in a situation where a reader takes caps and then tries to acquire the inode_lock. Another task holds the inode_lock and issues a request to the MDS which needs to revoke the caps, but that can't happen until the inode_lock is unwedged. Fix this by having ceph_read_iter take the inode_lock earlier, before attempting to acquire caps.
