JFS is missing a memory barrier
JFS is missing a memory barrier needed to close the critical section before clearing the lock bit. Use lock bitops for this. unlock_page() has a second barrier after clearing the lock, which is required because it checks whether the waitqueue is active without locks. Such a barrier is not required here because the waitqueue spinlock is always taken (something to think about if performance is an issue).
