Currently when we add a buffer to a transaction, we wait until the
buffer is removed from BJ_Shadow list (so that we prevent any changes to
the buffer that is just written to the journal). This can take
unnecessarily long as a lot happens between the time the buffer is
submitted to the journal and the time when we remove the buffer from
BJ_Shadow list (e.g. we wait for all data buffers in the transaction,
we issue a cache flush etc.). Also this creates a dependency of
do_get_write_access() on transaction commit (namely waiting for data IO
to complete) which we want to avoid when implementing transaction
reservation.
So we modify commit code to set new BH_Shadow flag when temporary
shadowing buffer is created and we clear that flag once IO on that
buffer is complete. This allows do_get_write_access() to wait only for
BH_Shadow bit and thus removes the dependency on data IO completion.
