jbd2: refine waiting for shadow buffers

Currently when we add a buffer to a transaction, we wait until the
buffer is removed from BJ_Shadow list (so that we prevent any changes
to the buffer that is just written to the journal).  This can take
unnecessarily long as a lot happens between the time the buffer is
submitted to the journal and the time when we remove the buffer from
BJ_Shadow list.  (e.g.  We wait for all data buffers in the
transaction, we issue a cache flush, etc.)  Also this creates a
dependency of do_get_write_access() on transaction commit (namely
waiting for data IO to complete) which we want to avoid when
implementing transaction reservation.

So we modify commit code to set new BH_Shadow flag when temporary
shadowing buffer is created and we clear that flag once IO on that
buffer is complete.  This allows do_get_write_access() to wait only
for BH_Shadow bit and thus removes the dependency on data IO
completion.
