dm: dec_pending needs locking to save error value

Browse source

Multiple instances of dec_pending() can run concurrently so a lock is
needed when it saves the first error code.

I have never experienced actual problem without locking and just found
this during code inspection while implementing the barrier support
patch for request-based dm.

This patch adds the locking.
I've done compile, boot and basic I/O testings.
