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.
