lightnvm: pblk: fix race condition on metadata I/O
In pblk, when a new line is allocated, metadata for the previously written line is scheduled. This is done through a fixed memory region that is shared through time and contexts across different lines and therefore protected by a lock. Unfortunately, this lock is not properly covering all the metadata used for sharing this memory regions, resulting in a race condition. This patch fixes this race condition by protecting this metadata properly.
