jbd2: Improve scalability by not taking j_state_lock in jbd2_journal_stop()
One of the most contended locks in the jbd2 layer is j_state_lock when running dbench. This is especially true if using the real-time kernel with its "sleeping spinlocks" patch that replaces spinlocks with priority inheriting mutexes --- but it also shows up on large SMP benchmarks. Thanks to John Stultz for pointing this out. Reviewed by Mingming Cao and Jan Kara. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
