[PATCH 1/3] [GFS2] filesystem consistency error from do_strip

[swhiteho]

From: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch fixes a GFS2 filesystem consistency error reported from
function do_strip.  The problem was caused by a timing window
that allowed two vfs inodes to be created in memory that point
to the same file.  The problem is fixed by making the vfs's
iget_test, iget_set mechanism check and set a new bit in the
in-core gfs2_inode structure while the vfs inode spin_lock is held.
