[PATCH] fs: jfs: fix a possible data race in metapage_writepage()

[Jia-Ju Bai <baijiaju1990@gmail.com>]

The functions metapage_writepage() and lmPostGC() can be concurrently 
executed in the following call contexts:

Thread1:
  metapage_writepage()

Thread2:
  lbmIODone()
    lmPostGC()

In metapage_writepage():
  if (mp->log && !(mp->log->cflag & logGC_PAGEOUT))

In lmPostGC():
  spin_lock_irqsave(&log->gclock, flags);
  ...
  log->cflag &= ~logGC_PAGEOUT
  ...
  spin_unlock_irqrestore(&log->gclock, flags);

The memory addresses of mp->log->cflag and log->cflag can be identical,
and thus a data race can occur.

To fix this data race, the spinlock mp->log->gclock is used in
metapage_writepage().

This data race is found by our concurrency fuzzer.
