[PATCH] fix panic in jbd by adding locks

[Josef Bacik <jbacik@redhat.com>]

Hello,

It is possible to panic the box by a race condition that exists in the
journalling code where we do not take the j_revoke_lock when traversing the
journal's revoked record list.  This patch has been tested and we haven't seen
the issue yet, its a rather straightforward and correct (at least I think so :)
fix.  Thank you,
