Subject: ocfs2: fix deadlock when two nodes are converting same lock from PR to EX and idletimeout closes conn

Orabug: 18639535

Two node cluster and both nodes hold a lock at PR level and both want to
convert to EX at the same time.  Master node 1 has sent BAST and then
closes the connection due to idletime out.  Node 0 receives BAST, sends
unlock req with cancel flag but gets error -ENOTCONN.  The problem is this
error is ignored in dlm_send_remote_unlock_request() on the **incorrect**
assumption that the master is dead.  See NOTE in comment why it returns
DLM_NORMAL.  Upon getting DLM_NORMAL, node 0 proceeds to sends convert
(without cancel flg) which fails with -ENOTCONN.  waits 5 sec and resends.
 This time gets DLM_IVLOCKID from the master since lock not found in grant
, it had been moved to converting queue in response to conv PR->EX req. 
No way out.

Node 1 (master)				Node 0
==============				======

lock mode PR				PR

convert PR -> EX
mv grant -> convert and que BAST
...
                     <-------- convert PR -> EX
convert que looks like this: ((node 1, PR -> EX) (node 0, PR -> EX))
...
			BAST (want PR -> NL)
                     ------------------>
...
idle timout, conn closed
                                ...
				In response to BAST,
				sends unlock with cancel convert flag
				gets -ENOTCONN. Ignores and
                                sends remote convert request
                                gets -ENOTCONN, waits 5 Sec, retries
...
reconnects
                   <----------------- convert req goes through on next try
does not find lock on grant que
                   status DLM_IVLOCKID
                   ------------------>
...

No way out.  Fix is to keep retrying unlock with cancel flag until it
succeeds or the master dies.
