[ Upstream commit 598ad0bd09329818ee041cb3e4b60ba0a70cb1ee ]

Taking sb_writers whilst holding mmap_lock isn't allowed and will result in
a lockdep warning like that below.  The problem comes from cachefiles
needing to take the sb_writers lock in order to do a write to the cache,
but being asked to do this by netfslib called from readpage, readahead or
write_begin[1].

Fix this by always offloading the write to the cache off to a worker
thread.  The main thread doesn't need to wait for it, so deadlock can be
avoided.

This can be tested by running the quick xfstests on something like afs or
ceph with lockdep enabled.

ffff88810c81d730 (mapping.invalidate_lock#3){.+.+}-{3:3}, at: filemap_fault+0x276/0x7a5

but task is already holding lock:
ffff8881595b53e8 (&mm->mmap_lock#2){++++}-{3:3}, at: do_user_addr_fault+0x28d/0x59c

which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  mapping.invalidate_lock#3 --> sb_writers#10 --> &mm->mmap_lock#2

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&mm->mmap_lock#2);
                               lock(sb_writers#10);
                               lock(&mm->mmap_lock#2);
  lock(mapping.invalidate_lock#3);
