ocfs2: kill osb->system_file_mutex lock
Commit 43b10a20372d ("ocfs2: avoid system inode ref confusion by adding mutex lock") tried to avoid a refcount leak caused by allowing multiple threads to call igrab(inode). But addition of osb->system_file_mutex made locking dependency complicated and is causing lockdep to warn about possibility of AB-BA deadlock. Since _ocfs2_get_system_file_inode() returns the same inode for the same input arguments, we don't need to serialize _ocfs2_get_system_file_inode(). What we need to make sure is that igrab(inode) is called for only once(). Therefore, replace osb->system_file_mutex with cmpxchg()-based locking.
