[PATCH] lock_buffer_wq do lock

I've twice got fs/buffer.c:2668 submit_bh BUG_ON(!buffer_locked(bh)):
when called from sync_dirty_buffer which clearly does the lock_buffer.
My suspicion falls on lock_buffer_wq (whereas __lock_page_wq looks OK).

I'm leaving a test running,
can't judge until tomorrow whether this is indeed the fix to that.
