4.2.8-ckt7 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Eric Wheeler <redacted>

commit 07cc6ef8edc47f8b4fc1e276d31127a0a5863d4d upstream.

The bch_writeback_thread might BUG_ON in read_dirty() if
dc->sb==BDEV_STATE_DIRTY and bch_sectors_dirty_init has not yet completed
its related initialization.  This patch downs the dc->writeback_lock until
after initialization is complete, thus preventing bch_writeback_thread
from proceeding prematurely.
