Subject: ocfs2/cluster: unlock the o2hb_live_lock before the o2nm_depend_item()

In the following situation, the down_write() will be called under the
spin_lock(), which may lead a soft lockup:

o2hb_region_inc_user
 spin_lock(&o2hb_live_lock)
  o2hb_region_pin
   o2nm_depend_item
    configfs_depend_item
     inode_lock
      down_write
      -->here may sleep and reschedule

So we should unlock the o2hb_live_lock before the o2nm_depend_item(), and
get item reference in advance to prevent the region to be released.
