ubifs: Fix 'ui->dirty' race between do_tmpfile() and writeback work

commit 60eb3b9c upstream.

'ui->dirty' is not protected by 'ui_mutex' in function do_tmpfile() which
may race with ubifs_write_inode[wb_workfn] to access/update 'ui->dirty',
finally dirty space is released twice.

	open(O_TMPFILE)                wb_workfn
do_tmpfile
  ubifs_budget_space(ino_req = { .dirtied_ino = 1})
  d_tmpfile // mark inode(tmpfile) dirty
  ubifs_jnl_update // without holding tmpfile's ui_mutex
    mark_inode_clean(ui)
      if (ui->dirty)
        ubifs_release_dirty_inode_budget(ui)  // release first time
                                   ubifs_write_inode
				     mutex_lock(&ui->ui_mutex)
                                     ubifs_release_dirty_inode_budget(ui)
				     // release second time
				     mutex_unlock(&ui->ui_mutex)
      ui->dirty = 0

Run generic/476 can reproduce following message easily

Fix it by holding tmpfile ubifs inode lock during ubifs_jnl_update().
Similar problem exists in whiteout renaming, but previous fix("ubifs:
Rename whiteout atomically") has solved the problem.
