GFS2 wasn't invalidating its cache before it called into the lock manager
with a request that could potentially drop a lock. This was leaving a
window where the lock could be actually be held by another node, but the
file's page cache would still appear valid, causing coherency problems.
This patch moves the cache invalidation to before the lock manager call
when dropping a lock. It also adds the option to the lock_dlm lock
manager to not use conversion mode deadlock avoidance, which, on a
conversion from shared to exclusive, could internally drop the lock, and
then reacquire in. GFS2 now asks lock_dlm to not do this. Instead, GFS2
manually drops the lock and reacquires it.

Use wait_event_interruptible() in the lock_dlm thread instead
of an open coded equivalent, and include a kthread_should_stop()
check in the wait test so we don't miss a kthread_stop().

The problem boiled down to a race between the gdlm_init_threads()
function initializing thread1 and its setting of blist = 1.
Essentially, "if (current == ls->thread1)" was checked by the thread
before the thread creator set ls->thread1.
Since thread1 is the only thread who is allowed to work on the
blocking queue, and since neither thread thought it was thread1, no one
was working on the queue. So everything just sat.
This patch reuses the ls->async_lock spin_lock to fix the race,
and it fixes the problem. I've done more than 2000 iterations of the
loop that was recreating the failure and it seems to work.

This patch removes the completion (which is rather large) from struct
gdlm_lock in favour of using the wait_on_bit() functions. We don't need
to add any extra fields to the structure to do this, so we save 32 bytes
(on x86_64) per structure. This adds up to quite a lot when we may
potentially have millions of these lock structures,

This removes one of the typedefs from the locking interface. It
is replaced by a forward declaration of the gfs2 superblock. The
other two are not so easy to solve since in their case, they
can refer to one of two possible structures.

As per comments from Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@linux01.gwdg.de> this
updates the copyright message to say "version" in full rather than
"v.2". Also incore.h has been updated to remove forward structure
declarations which are not required.
The gfs2_quota_lvb structure has now had endianess annotations added
to it. Also quota.c has been updated so that we now store the
lvb data locally in endian independant format to avoid needing
a structure in host endianess too. As a result the endianess
conversions are done as required at various points and thus the
conversion routines in lvb.[ch] are no longer required. I've
moved the one remaining constant in lvb.h thats used into lm.h
and removed the unused lvb.[ch].
I have not changed the HIF_ constants. That is left to a later patch
which I hope will unify the gh_flags and gh_iflags fields of the
struct gfs2_holder.
