The coda host file is a backing file for the coda inode on a different
filesystem than the coda inode.

Change the locking order to take the coda inode lock before taking
the backing host file freeze protection, same as in ovl_write_iter()
and in network filesystems that use cachefiles.

Looks good, it makes sense to use the same lock ordering as the other
file systems. Thanks for pushing this along.
