GFS2: Fix glock refcount issues


This patch fixes some ref counting issues. Firstly by moving
the point at which we drop the ref count after a dlm lock
operation has completed we ensure that we never call
gfs2_glock_hold() on a lock with a zero ref count.

Secondly, by using atomic_dec_and_lock() in gfs2_glock_put()
we ensure that at no time will a glock with zero ref count
appear on the lru_list. That means that we can remove the
check for this in our shrinker (which was racy).
