The release callback may be called from two places - file release
operation and kernfs open file draining. kernfs_open_file->mutex is
used to synchronize the two callsites. This unfortunately leads to
possible circular locking because of->mutex is used to protect the
usual kernfs operations which may use locking constructs which are
held while removing and thus draining kernfs files.
@of->mutex is for synchronizing concurrent kernfs access operations
and all we need here is synchronization between the releaes and drain
paths. As the drain path has to grab kernfs_open_file_mutex anyway,
let's use the mutex to synchronize the release operation instead.
