Subject: lightnvm: pblk: protect line bitmap while submitting meta io
From: Rakesh Pandit <rakesh@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit e57903fd972a398b7140d0bc055714e13a0e58c5 ]
It seems pblk_dealloc_page would race against pblk_alloc_pages for
line bitmap for sector allocation.The chances are very low but might
as well protect the bitmap properly.
