Two rt tasks bind to one CPU core.
The higher priority rt task A preempts a lower priority rt task B which
has already taken the write seq lock, and then the higher priority rt
task A try to acquire read seq lock, it's doomed to lockup.
rt task A with lower priority: call write
i_size_write rt task B with higher priority: call sync, and preempt task A
write_seqcount_begin(&inode->i_size_seqcount); i_size_read
inode->i_size = i_size; read_seqcount_begin <-- lockup here...
So disable preempt when acquiring every i_size_seqcount *write* lock will
cure the problem.
