to tid_t
In the definition of struct journal_head, the comment for
the field "unsigned b_cow_tid" says the field tracks the
last transaction id in which this buffer has been cowed.
In the header part of file journal-head.h, it defines
typedef unsigned int tid_t;
We should use type tid_t to define transaction id fields.
Change the field "b_cow_tid" of struct journal_head from
type unsigned to tid_t.

The b_cow_tid field will be used by the ext4 snapshots code to store
the transaction id when the buffer was last cowed.
Merging this patch to mainline will allow users to test ext4 snapshots
as a standalone module, without the need to patch and install a
development kernel.
On 64bit machines this field uses fills in a padding "hole" and does
not increase the size of the struct. On a 32bit machine this patch
increases the size of the struct from 60 to 64 bytes.

Filesystems often to do compute intensive operation on some
metadata. If this operation is repeated many times, it can be very
expensive. It would be much nicer if the operation could be performed
once before a buffer goes to disk.
This adds triggers to jbd2 buffer heads. Just before writing a metadata
buffer to the journal, jbd2 will optionally call a commit trigger associated
with the buffer. If the journal is aborted, an abort trigger will be
called on any dirty buffers as they are dropped from pending
transactions.
ocfs2 will use this feature.
Initially I tried to come up with a more generic trigger that could be
used for non-buffer-related events like transaction completion. It
doesn't tie nicely, because the information a buffer trigger needs
(specific to a journal_head) isn't the same as what a transaction
trigger needs (specific to a tranaction_t or perhaps journal_t). So I
implemented a buffer set, with the understanding that
journal/transaction wide triggers should be implemented separately.
There is only one trigger set allowed per buffer. I can't think of any
reason to attach more than one set. Contrast this with a journal or
transaction in which multiple places may want to watch the entire
transaction separately.
The trigger sets are considered static allocation from the jbd2
perspective. ocfs2 will just have one trigger set per block type,
setting the same set on every bh of the same type.

fix against credits leak in journal_release_buffer()
The idea is to charge a buffer in journal_dirty_metadata(), not in
journal_get_*_access()). Each buffer has flag call
journal_dirty_metadata() sets on the buffer.

Implement the designated b_tnext locking.
This also covers b_tprev locking.

This is the start of the JBD locking rework.
The aims of all this are to remove all lock_kernel() calls from JBD, to
remove all lock_journal() calls (the context switch rate is astonishing when
the lock_kernel()s are removed) and to remove all sleep_on() instances.
The strategy which is taken is:
a) Define the lcoking schema (this patch)
b) Work through every JBD data structure and implement its locking fully,
according to the above schema. We work from "innermost" data structures
and outwards.
It isn't guaranteed that the filesystem will work very well at all stages of
this patch series.
In this patch:
Add commentary and various locks to jbd.h describing the locking scheme which
is about to be implemented.
Initialise the new locks.
Coding-style goodness in jbd.h
