    GFS2: Update master statfs buffer with sd_statfs_spin locked · 901c6c66

    Before this patch, function update_statfs called gfs2_statfs_change_out
    to update the master statfs buffer without the sd_statfs_spin held.
    In theory, another process could call gfs2_statfs_sync, which takes
    the sd_statfs_spin lock and re-reads m_sc from the buffer. So there's
    a theoretical timing window in which one process could write the
    master statfs buffer, then another comes along and re-reads it, wiping
    out the changes.
