Subject: [PATCH 4.14 20/43] dm log writes: make sure super sector log updates are written in order

From: zhangyi (F) <yi.zhang@...wei.com>

commit 211ad4b733037f66f9be0a79eade3da7ab11cbb8 upstream.

Currently, although we submit super bios in order (and super.nr_entries
is incremented by each logged entry), submit_bio() is async so each
super sector may not be written to log device in order and then the
final nr_entries may be smaller than it should be.

This problem can be reproduced by the xfstests generic/455 with ext4:

  QA output created by 455
 -Silence is golden
 +mark 'end' does not exist

Fix this by serializing submission of super sectors to make sure each
is written to the log disk in order.

Fixes: 0e9cebe724597 ("dm: add log writes target")
