A memory allocation inside alloc_mutex must not recurse back into the
filesystem itself because that leads to lock inversion between iprune_mutex and
alloc_mutex (and thus to deadlocks - see traces below). alloc_mutex is actually
needed only to update allocation statistics in the superblock so we can drop it
before we start allocating memory for the inode.
