H A Dxattr.cc6e8c6cc Thu Jun 29 09:33:02 CDT 2006 KaiGai Kohei <kaigai@ak.jp.nec.com> [JFFS2][XATTR] Fix xd->refcnt race condition

When xd->refcnt is checked whether this xdatum should be released
or not, atomic_dec_and_lock() is used to ensure holding the
c->erase_completion_lock.

This fix change a specification of delete_xattr_datum().
Previously, it's only called when xd->refcnt equals zero.
(calling it with positive xd->refcnt cause a BUG())
If you applied this patch, the function checks whether
xd->refcnt is zero or not under the spinlock if necessary.
Then, it marks xd DEAD flahs and links with xattr_dead_list
or releases it immediately when xd->refcnt become zero.
