If userspace reads the buffer via blockdev while mounting,
sb_getblk()+modify can race with buffer read via blockdev.
For example,
FS userspace
bh = sb_getblk()
modify bh->b_data
read
ll_rw_block(bh)
fill bh->b_data by on-disk data
/* lost modified data by FS */
set_buffer_uptodate(bh)
set_buffer_uptodate(bh)
Userspace should not use the blockdev while mounting though, the udev
seems to be already doing this. Although I think the udev should try to
avoid this, workaround the race by small overhead.
