staging: android: ashmem: Fix lockdep issue during llseek

commit cb57469c9573f6018cd1302953dd45d6e05aba7b upstream.

ashmem_mutex create a chain of dependencies like so:

(1)
mmap syscall ->
  mmap_sem ->  (acquired)
  ashmem_mmap
  ashmem_mutex (try to acquire)
  (block)

(2)
llseek syscall ->
  ashmem_llseek ->
  ashmem_mutex ->  (acquired)
  inode_lock ->
  inode->i_rwsem (try to acquire)
  (block)

(3)
getdents ->
  iterate_dir ->
  inode_lock ->
  inode->i_rwsem   (acquired)
  copy_to_user ->
  mmap_sem         (try to acquire)

There is a lock ordering created between mmap_sem and inode->i_rwsem
causing a lockdep splat [2] during a syzcaller test, this patch fixes
the issue by unlocking the mutex earlier. Functionally that's Ok since
we don't need to protect vfs_llseek.
