3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>

commit 572d8b3945a31bee7c40d21556803e4807fd9141 upstream.

An fs-thaw ioctl causes deadlock with a chcp or mkcp -s command:

 chcp            D ffff88013870f3d0     0  1325   1324 0x00000004
 ...

   sys_ioctl+0x4b/0x6f
   filp_close+0x64/0x6c
   system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

where the thaw ioctl deadlocked at thaw_super() when called while chcp was
waiting at nilfs_transaction_begin() called from
nilfs_ioctl_change_cpmode().  This deadlock is 100% reproducible.

This is because nilfs_ioctl_change_cpmode() first locks sb->s_umount in
read mode and then waits for unfreezing in nilfs_transaction_begin(),
whereas thaw_super() locks sb->s_umount in write mode.  The locking of
sb->s_umount here was intended to make snapshot mounts and the downgrade
of snapshots to checkpoints exclusive.

This fixes the deadlock issue by replacing the sb->s_umount usage in
nilfs_ioctl_change_cpmode() with a dedicated mutex which protects snapshot
mounts.
