Good catch. How does this look:

spin_lock(&inode->i_lock);
spin_lock(&file_inode->i_lock);
if (global_nonroot(inode->i_uid) && !uid_eq(inode->i_uid, cred->uid))
	reason1 = "directory not owned by user";
else if (inode->i_mode & 0002)
	reason1 = "file in world-writable directory";
else if ((inode->i_mode & 0020) && global_nonroot_gid(inode->i_gid))
	reason1 = "file in group-writable directory";
else if (file_inode->i_mode & 0002)
	reason1 = "file is world-writable";
spin_unlock(&inode->i_lock);
spin_unlock(&file_inode->i_lock);

and likewise for other places in the code?
