[patch 15/16] ocfs2: dlm: fix race between purge and get lock resource

Subject: ocfs2: dlm: fix race between purge and get lock resource

There is a race window in dlm_get_lock_resource(), which may return a lock
resource which has been purged.  This will cause the process to hang
forever in dlmlock() as the ast msg can't be handled due to its lock
resource not existing.

dlm_get_lock_resource {
	...
	spin_lock(&dlm->spinlock);
	tmpres = __dlm_lookup_lockres_full(dlm, lockid, namelen, hash);
	if (tmpres) {
		spin_unlock(&dlm->spinlock);
		>>>>>>>> race window, dlm_run_purge_list() may run and purge
				 the lock resource
		spin_lock(&tmpres->spinlock);
		...
		spin_unlock(&tmpres->spinlock);
	}
}
