Btrfs: take i_mutex before generic_write_checks
btrfs_file_write was incorrectly calling generic_write_checks without taking i_mutex. This lead to problems with racing around i_size when doing O_APPEND writes. The fix here is to move i_mutex higher. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
