Jan Kara ae54870a1d ext3: Fix lock inversion in ext3_symlink() ...

ext3_symlink() cannot call __page_symlink() with transaction open.
__page_symlink() calls ext3_write_begin() which gets page lock which ranks
above transaction start (thus lock ordering is violated) and and also
ext3_write_begin() waits for a transaction commit when we run out of space
which never happens if we hold transaction open.

Fix the problem by stopping a transaction before calling __page_symlink()
(we have to be careful and put inode to orphan list so that it gets deleted
in case of crash) and starting another one after __page_symlink() returns
for addition of symlink into a directory.
