Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ocfs2: fix a deadlock when commit trans

commit 6f1b228529ae introduces a regression which can deadlock as
follows:

Task1:                              Task2:
jbd2_journal_commit_transaction     ocfs2_test_bg_bit_allocatable
spin_lock(&jh->b_state_lock)        jbd_lock_bh_journal_head
__jbd2_journal_remove_checkpoint    spin_lock(&jh->b_state_lock)
jbd2_journal_put_journal_head
jbd_lock_bh_journal_head

Task1 and Task2 lock bh->b_state and jh->b_state_lock in different
order, which finally result in a deadlock.

So use jbd2_journal_[grab|put]_journal_head instead in
ocfs2_test_bg_bit_allocatable() to fix it.
