Subject: lightnvm: pblk: protect line bitmap while submitting meta io

From: Rakesh Pandit <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit e57903fd972a398b7140d0bc055714e13a0e58c5 ]

It seems pblk_dealloc_page would race against pblk_alloc_pages for line bitmap for sector allocation.The chances are very low but might as well protect the bitmap properly.
