staging: lustre: llite: lookup master inode by ilookup5_nowait
Do not lookup master inode by ilookup5, instead it should use ilookup5_nowait, otherwise it will cause dead lock, 1. Client1 send chmod req to the MDT0, then on MDT0, it enqueues master and all of its slaves lock, (mdt_attr_set() ->mdt_lock_slaves()), after gets master and stripe0 lock, it will send the enqueue request(for stripe1) to MDT1, then MDT1 finds the lock has been granted to client2. Then MDT1 sends blocking ast to client2. 2. At the same time, client2 tries to unlink the striped dir (rm -rf striped_dir), and during lookup, it will hold the master inode of the striped directory, whose inode state is NEW, then tries to revalidate all of its slaves, (ll_prep_inode()->ll_iget()->ll_read_inode2()-> ll_update_inode().). And it will be blocked on the server side because of 1. 3. Then the client get the blocking_ast request, cancel the lock, but being blocked by ilookup5 in ll_md_blocking_ast(), because the inode state is still NEW.
