Ryusuke Konishi 201913ed74 nilfs2: fix circular locking dependency of writer mutex
This fixes the following circular locking dependency problem:

 =======================================================
 [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
 2.6.30-rc3 #5
 -------------------------------------------------------
 segctord/3895 is trying to acquire lock:
  (&nilfs->ns_writer_mutex){+.+...}, at: [<d0d02172>]
   nilfs_mdt_get_block+0x89/0x20f [nilfs2]

 but task is already holding lock:
  (&bmap->b_sem){++++..}, at: [<d0d02d99>]
   nilfs_bmap_propagate+0x14/0x2e [nilfs2]

 which lock already depends on the new lock.

The bugfix is done by replacing call sites of nilfs_get_writer() which
are never called from read-only context with direct dereferencing of
pointer to a writable FS-instance.
