dm log writes: make sure super sector log updates are written in order
Currently, although we submit super bios in order (and super.nr_entries is incremented by each logged entry), submit_bio() is async so each super sector may not be written to log device in order and then the final nr_entries may be smaller than it should be. This problem can be reproduced by the xfstests generic/455 with ext4: QA output created by 455 -Silence is golden +mark 'end' does not exist Fix this by serializing submission of super sectors to make sure each is written to the log disk in order.
