[Patch 1/7] 2.4.20-pre4/ext3: Fix LVM snapshot deadlock

[Stephen Tweedie]

Fix LVM snapshot deadlock: it is a bad idea to try to flush all running
transactions while we already hold the superblock lock.  Drop the sb lock
while we flush.

This only affects kernels that have the extra LVM VFS locking added in
for filesystem quiescing on snapshots.
