ext4: fix races between changing inode journal mode and ext4_writepages
In ext4, there is a race condition between changing inode journal mode
and ext4_writepages(). While ext4_writepages() is executed on a
non-journalled mode inode, the inode's journal mode could be enabled
by ioctl() and then, some pages dirtied after switching the journal
mode will be still exposed to ext4_writepages() in non-journaled mode.
To resolve this problem, we use fs-wide per-cpu rw semaphore by Jan
Kara's suggestion because we don't want to waste ext4_inode_info's
space for this extra rare case.
