[PATCH] Fix race in do_get_write_access()

  attached patch should fix the following race:
     Proc 1                               Proc 2

     __flush_batch()
       ll_rw_block()
                                        do_get_write_access()
					   lock_buffer
                                             jh is only waiting for checkpoint
					     -> b_transaction == NULL ->
					     do nothing
                                           unlock_buffer
    test_set_buffer_locked()
    test_clear_buffer_dirty()
                                           __journal_file_buffer()
                                        change the data
    submit_bh()

and we have sent wrong data to disk...  We now clean the dirty buffer flag
under buffer lock in all cases and hence we know that whenever a buffer is
starting to be journaled we either finish the pending write-out before
attaching a buffer to a transaction or we won't write the buffer until the
transaction is going to be committed.

The test in jbd_unexpected_dirty_buffer() is redundant - remove it.
Furthermore we have to clear the buffer dirty bit under the buffer lock to
prevent races with buffer write-out (and hence prevent returning a buffer with
IO happening).
