Fix casesensitivity=insensitive deadlock
When casesensitivity=insensitive is set for the file system, we can deadlock in a rename if the user uses different case for each path. For example rename("A/some-file.txt", "a/some-file.txt"). The simple test for this is: 1. mkdir some-dir in a ZFS file system 2. touch some-dir/some-file.txt 3. mv Some-dir/some-file.txt some-dir/some-other-file.txt This last request deadlocks trying to relock the i_mutex on the inode for the parent directory. The solution is to use d_add_ci in zpl_lookup if we are on a file system that has the casesensitivity=insensitive attribute set. This patch checks if we are working on a case insensitive file system and if so, allocates storage for the case insensitive name and passes it to zfs_lookup and then calls d_add_ci instead of d_splice_alias. The performance impact seems to be minimal even though we have introduced a kmalloc and kfree in the lookup path. The problem was found when running Microsoft's FSCT against Samba on top of ZFS On Linux.
