Subject: [PATCH 4/4] nilfs2: fix deadlock issue between chcp and thaw ioctls
An fs-thaw ioctl causes deadlock with a chcp or mkcp -s command:
chcp D ffff88013870f3d0 0 1325 1324 0x00000004
...

where the thaw ioctl deadlocked at thaw_super() when called while chcp
was waiting at nilfs_transaction_begin() called from
nilfs_ioctl_change_cpmode(). This deadlock is 100% reproducible.
This is because nilfs_ioctl_change_cpmode() first locks sb->s_umount
in read mode and then waits for unfreezing in
nilfs_transaction_begin(), whereas thaw_super() locks sb->s_umount in
write mode. The locking of sb->s_umount here was intended to make
snapshot mounts and the downgrade of snapshots to checkpoints
exclusive.
This fixes the deadlock issue by replacing the sb->s_umount usage in
nilfs_ioctl_change_cpmode() with a dedicated mutex which protects
snapshot mounts.
