xfs: mmap lock needs to be inside freeze protection
commit ec56b1f1fdc69599963574ce94cc5693d535dd64 upstream.
Lock ordering for the new mmap lock needs to be:
mmap_sem
sb_start_pagefault
i_mmap_lock
page lock
<fault processsing>
Right now xfs_vm_page_mkwrite gets this the wrong way around,
While technically it cannot deadlock due to the current freeze
ordering, it's still a landmine that might explode if we change
anything in future. Hence we need to nest the locks correctly.
