There are quite a few lock order reversals in the file server, and my patch
does not attempt to address them.  I haven't completely figured out how
locking is supposed to work.  If deadlock prevention depends entirely on
lock order, we're in big trouble.

I'll post what I have tomorrow but I don't think it will fix this deadlock.
