jbd2: drop checkpoint mutex when waiting in __jbd2_log_wait_for_space()

While trying to debug an an issue under extreme I/O loading
on preempt-rt kernels, the following backtrace was observed
via SysRQ output:

What is interesting here, is that we call log_wait_commit, from
within wait_for_space, but we are still holding the checkpoint_mutex
as it surrounds mostly the whole of wait_for_space.  And then, as we
are waiting, journal_commit_transaction can run, and if the JBD2_FLUSHED
bit is set, then we will also try to take the same checkpoint_mutex.

It seems that we need to drop the checkpoint_mutex while sitting in
jbd2_log_wait_commit, if we want to guarantee that progress can be made
by jbd2_journal_commit_transaction().  There does not seem to be
anything preempt-rt specific about this, other then perhaps increasing
the odds of it happening.
