bdget() should not be called when we hold spinlocks since
it might sleep.

  Looks good.
Acked-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

PS: Added Ted to CC since he merges JBD2 patches.

I've added the patch to the patch queue.  Technically we should never
have a problem, though, since we only use this for the journal inode,
which is not going to be a fresly created inode.  So I don't think we
should ever hit the paths that will result in the kernel sleeping.
But I agree it's better to move it out, if for no other reason to make
life easier for static checkers.
