From: Javier González <javier@cnexlabs.com>

[ Upstream commit d8adaa3b86324c6186d0adf74bc256bdacfffdb6 ]

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.
