This patch cleanups the code for allocating a new buffer in the dlm writequeue mechanism. There was a possible tuneup to allow scheduling while a new writequeue entry needs to be allocated because either no sending page is available or are full. To avoid multiple concurrent users checking at the same time if an entry is available or full alloc_wq was introduce that those are waiting if there is currently a new writequeue entry in process to be queued so possible further users will check on the new allocated writequeue entry if it's full. To simplify the code we just remove this mutex and switch that the already introduced spin lock will be held during writequeue check, allocation and queueing. So other users can never check on available writequeues while there is a new one in process but not queued yet.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
