[PATCH 23/24] GFS2: Fix locking issue mounting gfs2meta fs

[Steven Whitehouse]

This patch uses sget() to get a reference to the
existing gfs2 sb when mouting the gfs2meta filesystem
(in fact thats just another mount of the gfs2
filesystem with a different root and this interface
is for backward compatibility).
