Subject: [PATCH 4/7] affs: re-structure superblock locking a bit

From: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@...ux.intel.com>

AFFS wants to serialize the superblock (the root block in AFFS terms) updates
and uses 'lock_super()/unlock_super()' for these purposes. This patch pushes the
locking down to the 'affs_commit_super()' from the callers.
