jbd2: Improve scalability by not taking j_state_lock in jbd2_journal_stop()
One of the most contended locks in the jbd2 layer is j_state_lock when
running dbench. This is especially true if using the real-time kernel
with its "sleeping spinlocks" patch that replaces spinlocks with
priority inheriting mutexes --- but it also shows up on large SMP
benchmarks.
Thanks to John Stultz for pointing this out.
