fs/buffer: Make BH_Uptodate_Lock bit_spin_lock a regular spinlock_t
Bit spinlocks are problematic if PREEMPT_RT is enabled, because they disable preemption, which is undesired for latency reasons and breaks when regular spinlocks are taken within the bit_spinlock locked region because regular spinlocks are converted to 'sleeping spinlocks' on RT. PREEMPT_RT replaced the bit spinlocks with regular spinlocks to avoid this problem. The replacement was done conditionaly at compile time, but Christoph requested to do an unconditional conversion. Jan suggested to move the spinlock into a existing padding hole which avoids a size increase of struct buffer_head on production kernels. As a benefit the lock gains lockdep coverage.
