    ocfs2_defrag_extent may fall into deadlock.
    
    ocfs2_ioctl_move_extents
        ocfs2_ioctl_move_extents
          ocfs2_move_extents
            ocfs2_defrag_extent
              ocfs2_lock_allocators_move_extents
    
                ocfs2_reserve_clusters
                  inode_lock GLOBAL_BITMAP_SYSTEM_INODE
    
    	  __ocfs2_flush_truncate_log
                  inode_lock GLOBAL_BITMAP_SYSTEM_INODE
    
    As backtrace shows above, ocfs2_reserve_clusters() will call inode_lock
    against the global bitmap if local allocator has not sufficient cluters.
    Once global bitmap could meet the demand, ocfs2_reserve_cluster will
    return success with global bitmap locked.
    
    After ocfs2_reserve_cluster(), if truncate log is full,
    __ocfs2_flush_truncate_log() will definitely fall into deadlock because
    it needs to inode_lock global bitmap, which has already been locked.
    
    To fix this bug, we could remove from
    ocfs2_lock_allocators_move_extents() the code which intends to lock
    global allocator, and put the removed code after
    __ocfs2_flush_truncate_log().
    
    ocfs2_lock_allocators_move_extents() is referred by 2 places, one is
    here, the other does not need the data allocator context, which means
    this patch does not affect the caller so far.
