Nick Piggin 87df7241bd [PATCH] Fix try_to_free_buffer() locking
Fix commit ecdfc9787fe527491baefc22dce8b2dbd5b2908d

Not to put too fine a point on it, but in a nutshell...

	__set_page_dirty_buffers() | try_to_free_buffers()
	---------------------------+---------------------------
	                           | spin_lock(private_lock);
	                           | drop_bufers()
	                           | spin_unlock(private_lock);
	spin_lock(private_lock)    |
	!page_has_buffers()        |
	spin_unlock(private_lock)  |
	SetPageDirty()             |
	                           | cancel_dirty_page()

                          oops!
