Subject: [PATCH] jfs: fix use-after-free in lbmIODone by waiting for in-flight
 I/O

lbmLogShutdown() frees all log buffer heads from the freelist, but does
not wait for outstanding block I/O completions. When a log buffer write
is submitted via lbmStartIO() and the filesystem is unmounted before the
bio completes, lbmIODone() runs against a freed lbuf, causing a
use-after-free read.

Add an atomic I/O counter (io_count) to struct jfs_log. Increment it
in lbmStartIO() before submit_bio(), decrement it in lbmIODone() after
processing. In lbmLogShutdown(), wait for io_count to reach zero before
freeing buffer heads, ensuring no in-flight I/O references freed memory.
