jbd2: trace when lock_buffer in do_get_write_access takes a long time

Browse source 
While investigating interactivity problems it was clear that processes
sometimes stall for long periods of times if an attempt is made to
lock a buffer which is undergoing writeback.  It would stall in
a trace looking something like

[<ffffffff811a39de>] __lock_buffer+0x2e/0x30
[<ffffffff8123a60f>] do_get_write_access+0x43f/0x4b0
