+2.1.29 - Fix a deadlock at mount time.
+
+ - During mount the VFS holds s_umount lock on the superblock. So when
+ we try to empty the journal $LogFile contents by calling
+ ntfs_attr_set() when the machine does not have much memory and the
+ journal is large ntfs_attr_set() results in the VM trying to balance
+ dirty pages which in turn tries to that the s_umount lock and thus we
+ get a deadlock. The solution is to not use ntfs_attr_set() and
+ instead do the zeroing by hand at the block level rather than page
+ cache level.
+ - Fix sparse warnings.
