<title>jbd2: add a helper to find out number of fast commit blocks</title>

Add a helper to read number of fast commit blocks from jbd2 superblock
and also rename the JBD2_MIN_FC_BLKS to
JBD2_DEFAULT_FAST_COMMIT_BLOCKS since this constant is just the
default number of fast commit blocks to use in case number of fast
commit blocks isn't set in jbd2 superblock.

<title>jbd2: fix kernel-doc markups</title>

<content type='text'>
Kernel-doc markup should use this format:
        identifier - description

They should not have any type before that, as otherwise
the parser won't do the right thing.

Also, some identifiers have different names between their
prototypes and the kernel-doc markup.

Add missing __acquires() and __releases() annotations.  Also, in an
"this should never happen" WARN_ON check, if it *does* actually
happen, we need to release j_state_lock since this function is always
supposed to release that lock.  Otherwise, things will quickly grind
to a halt after the WARN_ON trips.

Fast commit performance can be optimized if commit thread doesn't wait
for ongoing fast commits to complete until the transaction enters
T_FLUSH state. Document this optimization.

Variables journal-&gt;j_fc_off, journal-&gt;j_fc_wbuf are accessed during
commit path. Since today we allow only one process to perform a fast
commit, there is no need take state lock before accessing these
variables. This patch removes these locks and adds comments to
describe this.
