Subject: [PATCH] jfs: makes diUnmount/diMount in jfs_mount_rw atomic

jfs_mount_rw can call diUnmount and then diMount. These calls
change the imap pointer.
In case JFS filesystem is mounted on root (/), between these two
calls there may be calls of function jfs_lookup().
The jfs_lookup() function calls jfs_iget(), which, in its turn,
calls diRead(). The latter references the imap pointer.
That may cause diRead() to refer to a pointer "freed" in
diUnmount().
This commit makes calls diUnmount()/diMount() be atomic so that
nothing will read the imap pointer until the whole remount is
completed.
