This was noticed by Miklos that file_remove_privs might call into
notify_change(), which requires to hold an exclusive lock. The problem
exists in FUSE and btrfs. We can fix it without any additional helpers
from VFS, in case the privileges would need to be dropped, change the
lock type to be exclusive and redo the loop.
Fixes: e9adabb9712e ("btrfs: use shared lock for direct writes within EOF")

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.
