JFS is missing a memory barrier

JFS is missing a memory barrier needed to close the critical section before
clearing the lock bit. Use lock bitops for this.

unlock_page() has a second barrier after clearing the lock, which is
required because it checks whether the waitqueue is active without locks.
Such a barrier is not required here because the waitqueue spinlock is
always taken (something to think about if performance is an issue).
