nilfs2: fix use-after-free bug of ns_writer on remount

commit 8cccf05fe857a18ee26e20d11a8455a73ffd4efd upstream.

If a nilfs2 filesystem is downgraded to read-only due to metadata
corruption on disk and is remounted read/write, or if emergency read-only
remount is performed, detaching a log writer and synchronizing the
filesystem can be done at the same time.

In these cases, use-after-free of the log writer (hereinafter
nilfs->ns_writer) can happen as shown in the scenario below:

 Task1                               Task2
 --------------------------------    ------------------------------
 nilfs_construct_segment
   nilfs_segctor_sync
     init_wait
     init_waitqueue_entry
     add_wait_queue
     schedule
                                     nilfs_remount (R/W remount case)
       nilfs_attach_log_writer
                                         nilfs_detach_log_writer
                                           nilfs_segctor_destroy
                                             kfree
     finish_wait
       _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
         __raw_spin_lock_irqsave
           do_raw_spin_lock
             debug_spin_lock_before  <-- use-after-free

While Task1 is sleeping, nilfs->ns_writer is freed by Task2.  After Task1
waked up, Task1 accesses nilfs->ns_writer which is already freed.  This
scenario diagram is based on the Shigeru Yoshida's post [1].

This patch fixes the issue by not detaching nilfs->ns_writer on remount so
that this UAF race doesn't happen.  Along with this change, this patch
also inserts a few necessary read-only checks with superblock instance
where only the ns_writer pointer was used to check if the filesystem is
read-only.
