Subject: Btrfs: lock superblock before remounting for rw subvol

commit 773cd04ec1911abb33cf9538b65f55b76cad5d92 upstream.

Since commit 0723a0473fb4 ("btrfs: allow mounting btrfs subvolumes with
different ro/rw options"), when mounting a subvolume read/write when
another subvolume has previously been mounted read-only, we first do a
remount. However, this should be done with the superblock locked, as per
sync_filesystem():

	/*
	 * We need to be protected against the filesystem going from
	 * r/o to r/w or vice versa.
	 */
	WARN_ON(!rwsem_is_locked(&sb->s_umount));

This WARN_ON can easily be hit with:

mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/vdb
mount /dev/vdb /mnt
btrfs subvol create /mnt/vol1
btrfs subvol create /mnt/vol2
umount /mnt
mount -oro,subvol=/vol1 /dev/vdb /mnt
mount -orw,subvol=/vol2 /dev/vdb /mnt2
