Not an expert, but my guess is that the operations would happen sequentially and transactionally. Corruption would be fixed (at block level), then the /bin/rm would execute assuming there weren't other block corruption fixes queued. So you would be injecting a /bin/rm into a process queue.

The actual repair code is in kernel, the userspace code is just a driver - it's not reaching around the kernel code and doing its own thing.

So yes, all the normal filesystem locking applies.
