[PATCH] dio: lock refcount operations

[PATCH] dio: lock refcount operations

The wait_for_more_bios() function name was poorly chosen.  While looking to
clean it up it I noticed that the dio struct refcounting between the bio
completion and dio submission paths was racey.

The bio submission path was simply freeing the dio struct if
atomic_dec_and_test() indicated that it dropped the final reference.

The aio bio completion path was dereferencing its dio struct pointer *after
dropping its reference* based on the remaining number of references.

These two paths could race and result in the aio bio completion path
dereferencing a freed dio, though this was not observed in the wild.

This moves the refcount under the bio lock so that bio completion can drop
its reference and decide to wake all in one atomic step.

Once testing and waking is locked dio_await_one() can test its sleeping
condition and mark itself uninterruptible under the lock.  It gets simpler
and wait_for_more_bios() disappears.

The addition of the interrupt masking spin lock acquiry in dio_bio_submit()
looks alarming.  This lock acquiry existed in that path before the recent
dio completion patch set.  We shouldn't expect significant performance
regression from returning to the behaviour that existed before the
completion clean up work.

This passed 4k block ext3 O_DIRECT fsx and aio-stress on an SMP machine.
