GFS2: glock livelock
This patch fixes a couple gfs2 problems with the reclaiming of unlinked dinodes. First, there were a couple of livelocks where everything would come to a halt waiting for a glock that was seemingly held by a process that no longer existed. In fact, the process did exist, it just had the wrong pid number in the holder information. Second, there was a lock ordering problem between inode locking and glock locking. Third, glock/inode contention could sometimes cause inodes to be improperly marked invalid by iget_failed. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com>
