Subject: [PATCH] Revert "Revert "ext4: make __ext4_get_inode_loc plug""
This reverts commit 72dbcf72156641fde4d8ea401e977341bfd35a05.
Instead of waiting forever for entropy that may just not happen, we now
try to actively generate entropy when required, and are thus hopefully
avoiding the problem that caused the nice ext4 IO pattern fix to be
reverted.
So revert the revert.
