Chao Yu 4635b46af2 f2fs: fix potential hangtask in f2fs_trace_pid
As Jia-Ju Bai reported:

"According to fs/f2fs/trace.c, the kernel module may sleep under a spinlock.
The function call path is:
f2fs_trace_pid (acquire the spinlock)
   f2fs_radix_tree_insert
     cond_resched --> may sleep

I do not find a good way to fix it, so I only report.
This possible bug is found by my static analysis tool (DSAC) and my code
review."

Obviously, it's problemetic to schedule in critical region of spinlock,
which will cause uninterruptable sleep if there is no waker.

This patch changes to use mutex lock intead of spinlock to avoid this
condition.

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
