cover ocfs2: fix a deadlock case

This is trying to fix a deadlock case in ocfs2.
We firstly export jbd2 symbols jbd2_journal_[grab|put]_journal_head as preparation and later use them in ocfs2 insread of jbd_[lock|unlock]_bh_journal_head to fix the deadlock.

PATCH 1/2 jbd2: export jbd2_journal_[grab|put]_journal_head

This exports symbols jbd2_journal_[grab|put]_journal_head, which will be used outside modules, e.g. ocfs2.

PATCH 2/2 ocfs2: fix a deadlock when commit trans

In reply to Joseph Qi

commit 6f1b228529ae introduces a regression which can deadlock as follows:

Task1:                              Task2:
jbd2_journal_commit_transaction     ocfs2_test_bg_bit_allocatable
spin_lock(&jh->b_state_lock)        jbd_lock_bh_journal_head
__jbd2_journal_remove_checkpoint    spin_lock(&jh->b_state_lock)

jbd2_journal_put_journal_head
jbd_lock_bh_journal_head

Task1 and Task2 lock bh->b_state and jh->b_state_lock in different order, which finally result in a deadlock.

So use jbd2_journal_[grab|put]_journal_head instead in ocfs2_test_bg_bit_allocatable() to fix it.

Fixes 6f1b228529ae ("ocfs2: fix race between searching chunks and release journal_head from buffer_head")
