jbd2: Fix forever sleeping process in do_get_write_access()
In do_get_write_access() we wait on BH_Unshadow bit for buffer to get
from shadow state. The waking code in journal_commit_transaction() has
a bug because it does not issue a memory barrier after the buffer is
moved from the shadow state and before wake_up_bit() is called. Thus a
waitqueue check can happen before the buffer is actually moved from
the shadow state and waiting process may never be woken. Fix the
problem by issuing proper barrier.
