Jeff Layton 829ad4db95 ceph: ceph_kick_flushing_caps needs the s_mutex
The mdsc->cap_dirty_lock is not held while walking the list in
ceph_kick_flushing_caps, which is not safe.

ceph_early_kick_flushing_caps does something similar, but the
s_mutex is held while it's called and I think that guards against
changes to the list.

Ensure we hold the s_mutex when calling ceph_kick_flushing_caps,
and add some clarifying comments.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
