Subject: [ 128/184] ext4: fix race in ext4_mb_add_n_trim()

2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Niu Yawei <yawei.niu@...il.com>

commit f1167009711032b0d747ec89a632a626c901a1ad upstream.

In ext4_mb_add_n_trim(), lg_prealloc_lock should be taken when
changing the lg_prealloc_list.
