NeilBrown debf16f0c6 NFSD: use explicit lock/unlock for directory ops
When creating or unlinking a name in a directory use explicit
inode_lock_nested() instead of fh_lock(), and explicit calls to
fh_fill_pre_attrs() and fh_fill_post_attrs().  This is already done
for renames, with lock_rename() as the explicit locking.

Also move the 'fill' calls closer to the operation that might change the
attributes.  This way they are avoided on some error paths.

For the v2-only code in nfsproc.c, the fill calls are not replaced as
they aren't needed.

Making the locking explicit will simplify proposed future changes to
locking for directories.  It also makes it easily visible exactly where
pre/post attributes are used - not all callers of fh_lock() actually
need the pre/post attributes.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
