Subject: [PATCH] gfs2: Fix possible data races in gfs2_show_options()

Some fields such as gt_logd_secs of the struct gfs2_tune are accessed 
without holding the lock gt_spin in gfs2_show_options():

  val = sdp->sd_tune.gt_logd_secs;
  if (val != 30)
    seq_printf(s, ",commit=%d", val);

And thus can cause data races when gfs2_show_options() and other functions
such as gfs2_reconfigure() are concurrently executed:

  spin_lock(&gt->gt_spin);
  gt->gt_logd_secs = newargs->ar_commit;

To fix these possible data races, the lock sdp->sd_tune.gt_spin is 
acquired before accessing the fields of gfs2_tune and released after these
accesses.
