[GIT PULL 11/37] lightnvm: pblk: prevent race in pblk_rb_flush_point_set

["Matias Bjørling" <mb@lightnvm.io>]

From: Hans Holmberg <hans.holmberg@cnexlabs.com>

Make sure that we are not advancing the sync pointer while
we're adding bios to the write buffer entry completion list.

This race condition results in bios not completing and was identified
by a hang when running xfstest generic/113.
