[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

[ Upstream commit 4b270a8cc5047682f0a3f3f9af3b498408dbd2bc ]

In synchronous scenario, like in checkpoint(), we are going to flush
dirty node pages to device synchronously, we can easily failed
writebacking node page due to trylock_page() failure, especially in
condition of intensive lock competition, which can cause long latency
of checkpoint(). So let's use lock_page() in synchronous scenario to
avoid this issue.
