+Description: fix racy locking of mballoc block bitmaps causing BUG
+Details    : The locking of the mballoc buddy bitmap and the in-memory
+            block bitmap was using two different spin locks in some
+            cases.  This made it possible to incorrectly access the
+            mballoc bitmap while another process was modifying it,
+            causing a sanity assertion to fail.  While no on-disk corruption
+            was reported, there was some risk of this happening.
