The current gfs2_lookup_by_inum takes the glock of a presumed inode identified by block number, verifies that the block is indeed an inode, and then instantiates and reads the new inode via gfs2_inode_lookup. However, instantiating a new inode may block on freeing a previous instance of that inode (__wait_on_freeing_inode), and freeing an inode requires to take the glock already held, leading to lock inversion and deadlock. Fix this by first instantiating the new inode, then verifying that the block is an inode (if required), and then reading in the new inode, all in gfs2_inode_lookup. If the block we are looking for is not an inode, we discard the new inode via iget_failed, which marks inodes as bad and unhashes them. Other tasks waiting on that inode will get back a bad inode back from ilookup or iget_locked; in that case, retry the lookup.
