There are multiple calculations and reads of fields of sbi that should
be protected by stat_lock. As stat_lock is not used to read these
values in statfs, this can lead to inconsistent results.
Extend the locking to prevent this issue.
Commit c9c8ed50d94c ("f2fs: fix to avoid potential race on
sbi->unusable_block_count access/update")
already added the use of sbi->stat_lock in statfs in
order to make the calculation of multiple, different fields atomic so
that results are consistent. This is similar to that patch regarding the
change in statfs.

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.
