jbd2: Make state lock a spinlock
Bit-spinlocks are problematic on PREEMPT_RT if functions which might sleep on RT, e.g. spin_lock(), alloc/free(), are invoked inside the lock held region because bit spinlocks disable preemption even on RT. A first attempt was to replace state lock with a spinlock placed in struct buffer_head and make the locking conditional on PREEMPT_RT and DEBUG_BIT_SPINLOCKS. Jan pointed out that there is a 4 byte hole in struct journal_head where a regular spinlock fits in and he would not object to convert the state lock to a spinlock unconditionally. Aside of solving the RT problem, this also gains lockdep coverage for the journal head state lock (bit-spinlocks are not covered by lockdep as it's hard to fit a lockdep map into a single bit). The trivial change would have been to convert the jbd_*lock_bh_state() inlines, but that comes with the downside that these functions take a buffer head pointer which needs to be converted to a journal head pointer which adds another level of indirection. As almost all functions which use this lock have a journal head pointer readily available, it makes more sense to remove the lock helper inlines and write out spin_*lock() at all call sites. Fixup all locking comments as well.
