nilfs2: fix deadlock issue between chcp and thaw ioctls

commit 572d8b3945a31bee7c40d21556803e4807fd9141 upstream.

An fs-thaw ioctl causes deadlock with a chcp or mkcp -s command:

 chcp            D ffff88013870f3d0     0  1325   1324 0x00000004

where the thaw ioctl deadlocked at thaw_super() when called while chcp was
waiting at nilfs_transaction_begin() called from
nilfs_ioctl_change_cpmode().  This deadlock is 100% reproducible.

This is because nilfs_ioctl_change_cpmode() first locks sb->s_umount in
read mode and then waits for unfreezing in nilfs_transaction_begin(),
whereas thaw_super() locks sb->s_umount in write mode.  The locking of
sb->s_umount here was intended to make snapshot mounts and the downgrade
of snapshots to checkpoints exclusive.

This fixes the deadlock issue by replacing the sb->s_umount usage in
nilfs_ioctl_change_cpmode() with a dedicated mutex which protects snapshot
mounts.
