NTFS: Fix a mount time deadlock.

Big thanks go to Mathias Kolehmainen for reporting the bug, providing
debug output and testing the patches I sent him to get it working.

The fix was to stop calling ntfs_attr_set() at mount time as that causes
balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() to be called which on systems with
little memory actually tries to go and balance the dirty pages which tries
to take the s_umount semaphore but because we are still in fill_super()
across which the VFS holds s_umount for writing this results in a
deadlock.

We now do the dirty work by hand by submitting individual buffers.  This
has the annoying "feature" that mounting can take a few seconds if the
journal is large as we have clear it all.  One day someone should improve
on this by deferring the journal clearing to a helper kernel thread so it
can be done in the background but I don't have time for this at the moment
and the current solution works fine so I am leaving it like this for now.

+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.
+
 2.1.28 - Fix a deadlock.
 
 	- Fix deadlock in fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_put_inode().  Thanks to Sergey
