xfs: protect xfs_sync_worker with s_umount semaphore

xfs_sync_worker checks the MS_ACTIVE flag in s_flags to avoid doing
work during mount and unmount.  This flag can be cleared by unmount
after the xfs_sync_worker checks it but before the work is completed.
The has caused crashes in the completion handler for the dummy
transaction commited by xfs_sync_worker:

Protect xfs_sync_worker by using the s_umount semaphore at the read
level to provide exclusion with unmount while work is progressing.
