Change locking so that all snapshots on a particular filesystem share
a common lock. This change avoids a deadlock between snapshots when
separate requests cause them to deadlock checking each other for a
need to copy blocks that are close enough together that they fall
into the same indirect block. Although I had anticipated a slowdown
from contention for the single lock, my filesystem benchmarks show
no measurable change in throughput on a uniprocessor system with
three active snapshots. I conjecture that this result is because
every copy-on-write fault must check all the active snapshots, so
the process was inherently serial already. This change removes the
last of the deadlocks of which I am aware in snapshots.
