Rabin Vincent 560d388950 CIFS: silence lockdep splat in cifs_relock_file()
cifs_relock_file() can perform a down_write() on the inode's lock_sem even
though it was already performed in cifs_strict_readv().  Lockdep complains
about this.  AFAICS, there is no problem here, and lockdep just needs to be
told that this nesting is OK.

 =============================================
 [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
 4.11.0+ #20 Not tainted
 ---------------------------------------------
 cat/701 is trying to acquire lock:
  (&cifsi->lock_sem){++++.+}, at: cifs_reopen_file+0x7a7/0xc00

 but task is already holding lock:
  (&cifsi->lock_sem){++++.+}, at: cifs_strict_readv+0x177/0x310

 other info that might help us debug this:
  Possible unsafe locking scenario:

        CPU0
        ----
   lock(&cifsi->lock_sem);
   lock(&cifsi->lock_sem);

  *** DEADLOCK ***

  May be due to missing lock nesting notation

 1 lock held by cat/701:
  #0:  (&cifsi->lock_sem){++++.+}, at: cifs_strict_readv+0x177/0x310

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
