Move protection by percpu_rwsem from ext4_do_writepages() to ext4_writepages(). We will not want to grab this protection during transaction commits as that would be prone to deadlocks and the protection is not needed. Move the shutdown state checking as well since we want to be able to complete commit while the shutdown is in progress.
