nilfs2: correct exclusion control in nilfs_remount function
nilfs_remount() changes mount state of a superblock instance. Even though nilfs accesses other superblock instances during mount or remount, the mount state was not properly protected in nilfs_remount(). Moreover, nilfs_remount() has a lock order reversal problem; nilfs_get_sb() holds: 1. bdev->bd_mount_sem 2. sb->s_umount (sget acquires) and nilfs_remount() holds: 1. sb->s_umount (locked by the caller in vfs) 2. bdev->bd_mount_sem To avoid these problems, this patch divides a semaphore protecting super block instances from nilfs->ns_sem, and applies it to the mount state protection in nilfs_remount(). With this change, bd_mount_sem use is removed from nilfs_remount() and the lock order reversal will be resolved. And the new rw-semaphore, nilfs->ns_super_sem will properly protect the mount state except the modification from nilfs_error function.
