[GFS2] Clean up the glock core
This patch implements a number of cleanups to the core of the
GFS2 glock code. As a result a lot of code is removed. It looks
like a really big change, but actually a large part of this patch
is either removing or moving existing code.
There are some new bits too though, such as the new run_queue()
function which is considerably streamlined. Highlights of this
patch include:
o Fixes a cluster coherency bug during SH -> EX lock conversions
o Removes the "glmutex" code in favour of a single bit lock
o Removes the ->go_xmote_bh() for inodes since it was duplicating
->go_lock()
o We now only use the ->lm_lock() function for both locks and
unlocks (i.e. unlock is a lock with target mode LM_ST_UNLOCKED)
o The fast path is considerably shortly, giving performance gains
especially with lock_nolock
o The glock_workqueue is now used for all the callbacks from the DLM
which allows us to simplify the lock_dlm module (see following patch)
o The way is now open to make further changes such as eliminating the two
threads (gfs2_glockd and gfs2_scand) in favour of a more efficient
scheme.
This patch has undergone extensive testing with various test suites
so it should be pretty stable by now.
