NTFS: - Change {__,}ntfs_cluster_free() to also take an optional attribute

        search context as argument.  This allows calling it with the mft
        record mapped.  Update all callers.
      - Fix potential deadlock in ntfs_mft_data_extend_allocation_nolock()
	error handling by passing in the active search context when calling
	ntfs_cluster_free().

+ * mapped, you can specify @ctx as NULL and ntfs_cluster_free() will perform

+ *
+ * Note, ntfs_cluster_free() saves the state of @ctx on entry and restores it

+ * return as on entry.  However, the actual pointers in @ctx may point to
+ * different memory locations on return, so you must remember to reset any
+ * cached pointers from the @ctx, i.e. after the call to ntfs_cluster_free(),
+ * you will probably want to do:

  *
+ * WARNING: If @ctx is supplied, regardless of whether success or failure is
+ *	    returned, you need to check IS_ERR(@ctx->mrec) and if TRUE the @ctx
+ *	    is no longer valid, i.e. you need to either call
+ *	    ntfs_attr_reinit_search_ctx() or ntfs_attr_put_search_ctx() on it.
