Subject: [PATCH v4] f2fs: fix to avoid race during access gc_thread pointer

Thread A			Thread B		Thread C
- f2fs_remount
 - stop_gc_thread
				- f2fs_sbi_store
							- issue_discard_thread
   sbi->gc_thread = NULL;
				  sbi->gc_thread->gc_wake = 1
							  access sbi->gc_thread->gc_urgent

Previously, we allocate memory for sbi->gc_thread based on background
gc thread mount option, the memory can be released if we turn off
that mount option, but still there are several places access gc_thread
pointer without considering race condition, result in NULL point
dereference.

In order to fix this issue, introduce gc_rwsem to exclude those operations.

Signed-off-by: Chao Yu <yuchao0@...wei.com>

v4:
- use introduced sbi.gc_rwsem lock instead of sb.s_umount.
