Backport of jbd2 commit 169f1a2a87aae44034da4b9f81be1683d33de6d0
("jbd2: use a single printk for jbd_debug()")

Since the jbd_debug() is implemented with two separate printk()
calls, it can lead to corrupted and misleading debug output like
the following (see lines marked with "*"):

[  290.339362] (fs/jbd2/journal.c, 203): kjournald2: kjournald2 wakes
[  290.339365] (fs/jbd2/journal.c, 155): kjournald2: commit_sequence=42103, commit_request=42104
[  290.339369] (fs/jbd2/journal.c, 158): kjournald2: OK, requests differ
[* 290.339376] (fs/jbd2/journal.c, 648): jbd2_log_wait_commit:
[* 290.339379] (fs/jbd2/commit.c, 370): jbd2_journal_commit_transaction: JBD2: want 42104, j_commit_sequence=42103
[* 290.339382] JBD2: starting commit of transaction 42104
[  290.339410] (fs/jbd2/revoke.c, 566): jbd2_journal_write_revoke_records: Wrote 0 revoke records
[  290.376555] (fs/jbd2/commit.c, 1088): jbd2_journal_commit_transaction: JBD2: commit 42104 complete, head 42079

i.e. the debug output from log_wait_commit and journal_commit_transaction
have become interleaved.  The output should have been:

(fs/jbd2/journal.c, 648): jbd2_log_wait_commit: JBD2: want 42104, j_commit_sequence=42103
(fs/jbd2/commit.c, 370): jbd2_journal_commit_transaction: JBD2: starting commit of transaction 42104

It is expected that this is not easy to replicate -- I was only able
to cause it on preempt-rt kernels, and even then only under heavy
I/O load.

The state lock is taken after we are doing an assert on the state
value, not before.  So we might in fact be doing an assert on a
transient value.  Ensure the state check is within the scope of
the state lock being taken.

<title>mm: make snapshotting pages for stable writes a per-bio operation</title>

Walking a bio's page mappings has proved problematic, so create a new
bio flag to indicate that a bio's data needs to be snapshotted in order
to guarantee stable pages during writeback.  Next, for the one user
(ext3/jbd) of snapshotting, hook all the places where writes can be
initiated without PG_writeback set, and set BIO_SNAP_STABLE there.

We must also flag journal "metadata" bios for stable writeout, since
file data can be written through the journal.  Finally, the
MS_SNAP_STABLE mount flag (only used by ext3) is now superfluous, so get
rid of it.

In the case where an inode has a very stale transaction id (tid) in
i_datasync_tid or i_sync_tid, it's possible that after a very large
(2**31) number of transactions, that the tid number space might wrap,
causing tid_geq()'s calculations to fail.

Commit d9b0193 "jbd: fix fsync() tid wraparound bug" attempted to fix
this problem, but it only avoided kjournald spinning forever by fixing
the logic in jbd_log_start_commit().
