Subject: [PATCH] jbd2: Fix lockdep annotation in add_transaction_credits()

Thomas has reported a lockdep splat hitting in
add_transaction_credits(). The problem is that that function calls
jbd2_might_wait_for_commit() while holding j_state_lock which is wrong
(we do not really wait for transaction commit while holding that lock).

Fix the problem by moving jbd2_might_wait_for_commit() into places where
we are ready to wait for transaction commit and thus j_state_lock is
unlocked.
