xfs_file_last_byte() needs to acquire ilock
We had some systems crash with this stack:
[<a00000010000cb20>] ia64_leave_kernel+0x0/0x280
[<a00000021291ca00>] xfs_bmbt_get_startoff+0x0/0x20 [xfs]

[<a000000100163160>] fput+0x40/0x60
The problem here is that xfs_file_last_byte() does not acquire the
inode lock and can therefore race with another thread that is modifying
the extext list. While xfs_bmap_last_offset() is trying to lookup
what was the last extent some extents were merged and the extent list
shrunk so the index we lookup is now beyond the end of the extent list
and potentially in a freed buffer.
