I moved the dir_put_page() inside the if condition so we don't dereference
"page", if it's an ERR_PTR().

This gives the filesystem more information about the writeback that
is happening.  Trond requested this for the NFS unstable write handling,
and other filesystems might benefit from this too by beeing able to
distinguish between the different callers in more detail.

Push down lock_super into -&gt;write_super instances and remove it from the
caller.

Following filesystem don't need -&gt;s_lock in -&gt;write_super and are skipped:

 * bfs, nilfs2 - no other uses of s_lock and have internal locks in
	-&gt;write_super
 * ext2 - uses BKL in ext2_write_super and has internal calls without s_lock
 * reiserfs - no other uses of s_lock as has reiserfs_write_lock (BKL) in
 	-&gt;write_super
 * xfs - no other uses of s_lock and uses internal lock (buffer lock on
	superblock buffer) to serialize -&gt;write_super.  Also xfs_fs_write_super
	is superflous and will go away in the next merge window

<title>Push lock_super() into the -&gt;remount_fs() of filesystems that care about it</title>

Note that since we can't run into contention between remount_fs and write_super
(due to exclusion on s_umount), we have to care only about filesystems that
touch lock_super() on their own.  Out of those ext3, ext4, hpfs, sysv and ufs
do need it; fat doesn't since its -&gt;remount_fs() only accesses assign-once
data (basically, it's "we have no atime on directories and only have atime on
files for vfat; force nodiratime and possibly noatime into *flags").

[folded a build fix from hch]

<title>push BKL down into -&gt;put_super</title>

Move BKL into -&gt;put_super from the only caller.  A couple of
filesystems had trivial enough -&gt;put_super (only kfree and NULLing of
s_fs_info + stuff in there) to not get any locking: coda, cramfs, efs,
hugetlbfs, omfs, qnx4, shmem, all others got the full treatment.  Most
of them probably don't need it, but I'd rather sort that out individually.
Preferably after all the other BKL pushdowns in that area.

[AV: original used to move lock_super() down as well; these changes are
removed since we don't do lock_super() at all in generic_shutdown_super()
now]
[AV: fuse, btrfs and xfs are known to need no damn BKL, exempt]

We just did a full fs writeout using sync_filesystem before, and if
that's not enough for the filesystem it can perform it's own writeout
in -&gt;put_super, which many filesystems already do.

Move a call to foofs_write_super into every foofs_put_super for now to
guarantee identical behaviour until it's cleaned up by the individual
filesystem maintainers.

Exceptions:

 - affs already has identical copy &amp; pasted code at the beginning of
   affs_put_super so no need to do it twice.
 - xfs does the right thing without it and I have changes pending for
   the xfs tree touching this are so I don't really need conflicts
   here..
