Subject: [PATCH] [jbd] Add lock annotation to jbd_sync_bh

jbd_sync_bh releases journal->j_list_lock.  Add a lock annotation to this
function so that sparse can check callers for lock pairing, and so that sparse
will not complain about this function since it intentionally uses the lock in
this manner.
