nilfs2: use semaphore to protect pointer to a writable FS-instance
will get rid of nilfs_get_writer() and nilfs_put_writer() pair used to
retain a writable FS-instance for a period.
The pair functions were making up some kind of recursive lock with a
mutex, but they became overkill since the commit
201913ed746c7724a40d33ee5a0b6a1fd2ef3193. Furthermore, they caused
the following lockdep warning because the mutex can be released by a
task which didn't lock it:
=====================================
[ BUG: bad unlock balance detected! ]
-------------------------------------
kswapd0/422 is trying to release lock (&nilfs->ns_writer_mutex) at:
[<c1359ff5>] mutex_unlock+0x8/0xa
but there are no more locks to release!
other info that might help us debug this:
no locks held by kswapd0/422.

This patch uses a reader/writer semaphore instead of the own lock and
kills this warning.
