ashmem_mutex create a chain of dependencies like so: (1) mmap syscall -> mmap_sem -> (acquired) ashmem_mmap ashmem_mutex (try to acquire) (block) (2) llseek syscall -> ashmem_llseek -> ashmem_mutex -> (acquired) inode_lock -> inode->i_rwsem (try to acquire) (block) (3) getdents -> iterate_dir -> inode_lock -> inode->i_rwsem (acquired) copy_to_user -> mmap_sem (try to acquire) There is a lock ordering created between mmap_sem and inode->i_rwsem causing a lockdep splat [2] during a syzcaller test, this patch fixes the issue by unlocking the mutex earlier. Functionally that's Ok since we don't need to protect vfs_llseek.
