Hou Tao 5e3cc1ee14 9p: use inode->i_lock to protect i_size_write() under 32-bit
Use inode->i_lock to protect i_size_write(), else i_size_read() in
generic_fillattr() may loop infinitely in read_seqcount_begin() when
multiple processes invoke v9fs_vfs_getattr() or v9fs_vfs_getattr_dotl()
simultaneously under 32-bit SMP environment, and a soft lockup will be
triggered as show below:

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.
