[JFFS2][XATTR] Re-define xd->refcnt as atomic_t
In jffs2_release_xattr_datum(), it refers xd->refcnt to ensure whether releasing xd is allowed or not. But we can't hold xattr_sem since this function is called under spin_lock(&c->erase_completion_lock). Thus we have to refer it without any locking. This patch redefine xd->refcnt as atomic_t. It enables to refer xd->refcnt without any locking. Signed-off-by: KaiGai Kohei <kaigai@ak.jp.nec.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
