Ensure that the pool is locked during calls to __commit_transaction and
__destroy_persistent_data_objects. Just being consistent with locking,
but reality is dm_pool_metadata_close is called once pool is being
destroyed so access to pool shouldn't be contended.
Also, use pmd_write_lock_in_core rather than __pmd_write_lock in
dm_pool_commit_metadata and rename __pmd_write_lock to
pmd_write_lock_in_core -- there was no need for the alias.
In addition, verify that the pool is locked in __commit_transaction().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
