This is a formal patch set v2 to solve the deadlock issue on which I
previously started a RFC (draft patch), and the discussion happened here:
[https://oss.oracle.com/pipermail/ocfs2-devel/2016-October/012455.html]

Compared to the previous draft patch, this one is much simple and neat.
It neither messes up the dlmglue core, nor has a performance penalty on
the whole cluster locking system. Instead, it is only used in places where
such recursive cluster locking may happen.
 
Changes since v1: 
1. Let ocfs2_is_locked_by_me() just return true/false to indicate if the
process gets the cluster lock - suggested by: Joseph Qi <jiangqi903@gmail.com>
and Junxiao Bi <junxiao.bi@oracle.com>.
 
2. Change "struct ocfs2_holder" to a more meaningful name "ocfs2_lock_holder",
suggested by: Junxiao Bi <junxiao.bi@oracle.com>.
 
3. Add debugging output at ocfs2_setattr() and ocfs2_permission() to
catch exceptional cases, suggested by: Junxiao Bi <junxiao.bi@oracle.com>.
 
4. Do not inline functions whose bodies are not in scope, changed by:
Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au>.
 
Your comments and feedbacks are always welcomed.

We are in the situation that we have to avoid recursive cluster locking,
but there is no way to check if a cluster lock has been taken by a
precess already.

Mostly, we can avoid recursive locking by writing code carefully.
However, we found that it's very hard to handle the routines that
are invoked directly by vfs code. For instance:

const struct inode_operations ocfs2_file_iops = {
    .permission     = ocfs2_permission,
    .get_acl        = ocfs2_iop_get_acl,
    .set_acl        = ocfs2_iop_set_acl,
};

Both ocfs2_permission() and ocfs2_iop_get_acl() call ocfs2_inode_lock(PR):
do_sys_open
 may_open
  inode_permission
   ocfs2_permission
    ocfs2_inode_lock() <=== first time
     generic_permission
      get_acl
       ocfs2_iop_get_acl
	ocfs2_inode_lock() <=== recursive one

A deadlock will occur if a remote EX request comes in between two
of ocfs2_inode_lock(). Briefly describe how the deadlock is formed:

On one hand, OCFS2_LOCK_BLOCKED flag of this lockres is set in
BAST(ocfs2_generic_handle_bast) when downconvert is started
on behalf of the remote EX lock request. Another hand, the recursive
cluster lock (the second one) will be blocked in in __ocfs2_cluster_lock()
because of OCFS2_LOCK_BLOCKED. But, the downconvert never complete, why?
because there is no chance for the first cluster lock on this node to be
unlocked - we block ourselves in the code path.

The idea to fix this issue is mostly taken from gfs2 code.
1. introduce a new field: struct ocfs2_lock_res.l_holders, to
keep track of the processes' pid  who has taken the cluster lock
of this lock resource;
2. introduce a new flag for ocfs2_inode_lock_full: OCFS2_META_LOCK_GETBH;
it means just getting back disk inode bh for us if we've got cluster lock.
3. export a helper: ocfs2_is_locked_by_me() is used to check if we
have got the cluster lock in the upper code path.

The tracking logic should be used by some of the ocfs2 vfs's callbacks,
to solve the recursive locking issue cuased by the fact that vfs routines
can call into each other.

The performance penalty of processing the holder list should only be seen
at a few cases where the tracking logic is used, such as get/set acl.

You may ask what if the first time we got a PR lock, and the second time
we want a EX lock? fortunately, this case never happens in the real world,
as far as I can see, including permission check, (get|set)_(acl|attr), and
the gfs2 code also do so.

Changes since v1:
1. Let ocfs2_is_locked_by_me() just return true/false to indicate if the
process gets the cluster lock - suggested by: Joseph Qi <jiangqi903@gmail.com>
and Junxiao Bi <junxiao.bi@oracle.com>.

2. Change "struct ocfs2_holder" to a more meaningful name "ocfs2_lock_holder",
suggested by: Junxiao Bi <junxiao.bi@oracle.com>.

3. Do not inline functions whose bodies are not in scope, changed by:

Commit 743b5f1434f5 ("ocfs2: take inode lock in ocfs2_iop_set/get_acl()")
results in a deadlock, as the author "Tariq Saeed" realized shortly
after the patch was merged. The discussion happened here
(https://oss.oracle.com/pipermail/ocfs2-devel/2015-September/011085.html).

The reason why taking cluster inode lock at vfs entry points opens up
a self deadlock window, is explained in the previous patch of this
series.

So far, we have seen two different code paths that have this issue.
1. do_sys_open
     may_open
      inode_permission
       ocfs2_permission
        ocfs2_inode_lock() <=== take PR
         generic_permission
          get_acl
           ocfs2_iop_get_acl
            ocfs2_inode_lock() <=== take PR
2. fchmod|fchmodat
    chmod_common
     notify_change
      ocfs2_setattr <=== take EX
       posix_acl_chmod
        get_acl
         ocfs2_iop_get_acl <=== take PR
        ocfs2_iop_set_acl <=== take EX

Fixes them by adding the tracking logic (in the previous patch) for
these funcs above, ocfs2_permission(), ocfs2_iop_[set|get]_acl(),
ocfs2_setattr().

Changes since v1:
1. Let ocfs2_is_locked_by_me() just return true/false to indicate if the
process gets the cluster lock - suggested by: Joseph Qi <jiangqi903@gmail.com>
and Junxiao Bi <junxiao.bi@oracle.com>.

2. Change "struct ocfs2_holder" to a more meaningful name "ocfs2_lock_holder",
suggested by: Junxiao Bi <junxiao.bi@oracle.com>.

3. Add debugging output at ocfs2_setattr() and ocfs2_permission() to
catch exceptional cases, suggested by: Junxiao Bi <junxiao.bi@oracle.com>.
