commit 60d65f1f07a7d81d3eb3b91fc13fca80f2fdbb12 upstream.
Don't grab the daemon mutex while holding the message context mutex.
Addresses this lockdep warning:
ecryptfsd/2141 is trying to acquire lock:
(&ecryptfs_msg_ctx_arr[i].mux){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffffa029c213>]
ecryptfs_miscdev_read+0x143/0x470 [ecryptfs]
but task is already holding lock:
(&(*daemon)->mux){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffffa029c2ec>]
ecryptfs_miscdev_read+0x21c/0x470 [ecryptfs]
which lock already depends on the new lock.
