if the runlist was not mapped at all and a mapping error occured we
would leave the runlist locked on exit to the function so that the
next access to the same file would try to take the lock and deadlock.

and handle the case where an attribute is converted from resident
to non-resident by a concurrent file write.
- Reorder some operations when converting an attribute from resident
to non-resident (fs/ntfs/attrib.c) so it is safe wrt concurrent
->readpage and ->writepage.

helper ntfs_map_runlist_nolock() which is used by ntfs_map_runlist().
This allows us to map runlist fragments with the runlist lock already
held without having to drop and reacquire it around the call. Adapt
all callers.
- Change ntfs_find_vcn() to ntfs_find_vcn_nolock() which takes a locked
runlist. This allows us to find runlist elements with the runlist
lock already held without having to drop and reacquire it around the
call. Adapt all callers.

It should be safe now. (Famous last words...)

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
