Fix a deadlock possible in the ext2 file system implementation. This deadlock occurs when a file is removed from an ext2 file system which was mounted with the "sync" mount option. The problem is that ext2_xattr_delete_inode() was invoking the routine, sync_dirty_buffer(), using a buffer head which was previously locked via lock_buffer(). The first thing that sync_dirty_buffer() does is to lock the buffer head that it was passed. It does this via lock_buffer(). Oops. The solution is to unlock the buffer head in ext2_xattr_delete_inode() before invoking sync_dirty_buffer(). This makes the code in ext2_xattr_delete_inode() obey the same locking rules as all other callers of sync_dirty_buffer() in the ext2 file system implementation.
