[ Upstream commit 401a8b8fd5acd51582b15238d72a8d0edd580e9f ]
There are a number of places in the kernel that are accessing the
inode->i_flctx field without smp_load_acquire. This is required to
ensure that the caller doesn't see a partially-initialized structure.
Add a new accessor function for it to make this clear and convert all of
the relevant accesses in locks.c to use it. Also, convert
locks_free_lock_context to use the helper as well instead of just doing
a "bare" assignment.

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.
