Subject: [PATCH] ext4: fix potential use after free in system zone via remount with noblock_validity

Remount process will release system zone which was allocated before if
"noblock_validity" is specified. If we mount an ext4 file system to two
mountpoints whit default mount options, and then remount one of them
with "noblock_validity", it may trigger a use after free problem when
someone accessing the other one.

 # mount /dev/sda foo
 # mount /dev/sda bar

User access mountpoint "foo"   |   Remount mountpoint "bar"
                               |
ext4_map_blocks()              |   ext4_remount()
check_block_validity()         |   ext4_setup_system_zone()
ext4_data_block_valid()        |   ext4_release_system_zone()
                               |   free system_blks rb nodes
access system_blks rb nodes    |
trigger use after free         |

This patch lock the system zone when accessing it to prevent it being
released when doing a remount with "noblock_validity" mount option.
