    [GFS2] Revise readpage locking · 01b7c7ae

    The previous attempt to fix the locking in readpage failed due
    to the use of a "try lock" which resulted in occasional high
    cpu usage during testing (due to repeated tries) and also it
    did not resolve all the ordering problems wrt the transaction
    lock (although it did solve all the inode lock ordering problems).
    
    This patch avoids the problem by unlocking the page and getting the
    locks in the correct order. This means that we have to retest the
    page to ensure that it hasn't changed when we relock the page.
    
    This now passes the tests which were previously failing.
