It seems pblk_dealloc_page would race against pblk_alloc_pages for
line bitmap for sector allocation.  The chances are very low but might
as well protect the bitmap properly.  It's not even in fast path.

Looks good. The reason not to have locks here was that the caller is
always on the write thread - who did the allocation -, since it is error
handling. So there is no protection needed. In any case, it is better to
have it since it is implemented as a helper function.
