reiserfs, kill-the-BKL: fix unsafe j_flush_mutex lock

Impact: fix a deadlock

The j_flush_mutex is acquired safely in journal.c:
if we can't take it, we free the reiserfs per superblock lock
and wait a bit.

But we have a remaining place in kupdate_transactions() where
j_flush_mutex is still acquired traditionnaly. Thus the following
scenario (warned by lockdep) can happen:

A						B

mutex_lock(&write_lock)			mutex_lock(&write_lock)
	mutex_lock(&j_flush_mutex)	mutex_lock(&j_flush_mutex) //block
	mutex_unlock(&write_lock)
	sleep...
	mutex_lock(&write_lock) //deadlock

Fix this by using reiserfs_mutex_lock_safe() in kupdate_transactions().
