fs/jbd2, locking/mutex, sched/wait: Use mutex_lock_io() for journal->j_checkpoint_mutex
When an ext4 fs is bogged down by a lot of metadata IOs (in the
reported case, it was deletion of millions of files, but any massive
amount of journal writes would do), after the journal is filled up,
tasks which try to access the filesystem and aren't currently
performing the journal writes end up waiting in
__jbd2_log_wait_for_space() for journal->j_checkpoint_mutex.
Because those mutex sleeps aren't marked as iowait, this condition can
lead to misleadingly low iowait and /proc/stat:procs_blocked. While
iowait propagation is far from strict, this condition can be triggered
fairly easily and annotating these sleeps correctly helps initial
diagnosis quite a bit.
Use the new mutex_lock_io() for journal->j_checkpoint_mutex so that
these sleeps are properly marked as iowait.
