[JFFS2] fix race condition in jffs2_lzo_compress()

deflate_mutex protects the globals lzo_mem and lzo_compress_buf.  However,
jffs2_lzo_compress() unlocks deflate_mutex _before_ it has copied out the
compressed data from lzo_compress_buf.  Correct this by moving the mutex
unlock after the copy.

In addition, document what deflate_mutex actually protects.
