nilfs2: fix circular locking dependency of writer mutex
This fixes the following circular locking dependency problem:
=======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.30-rc3 #5
-------------------------------------------------------
segctord/3895 is trying to acquire lock:
(&nilfs->ns_writer_mutex){+.+...}, at: [<d0d02172>]
nilfs_mdt_get_block+0x89/0x20f [nilfs2]
but task is already holding lock:
(&bmap->b_sem){++++..}, at: [<d0d02d99>]
nilfs_bmap_propagate+0x14/0x2e [nilfs2]
which lock already depends on the new lock.
The bugfix is done by replacing call sites of nilfs_get_writer() which
are never called from read-only context with direct dereferencing of
pointer to a writable FS-instance.
