[12/59] ocfs2/dlm: remove potential deadlock -V3

[Greg KH]

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Wengang Wang <wen.gang.wang@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit b11f1f1ab73fd358b1b734a9427744802202ba68 upstream.

When we need to take both dlm_domain_lock and dlm->spinlock, we should take
them in order of: dlm_domain_lock then dlm->spinlock.

There is pathes disobey this order. That is calling dlm_lockres_put() with
dlm->spinlock held in dlm_run_purge_list. dlm_lockres_put() calls dlm_put() at
the ref and dlm_put() locks on dlm_domain_lock.

Fix:
Don't grab/put the dlm when the initialising/releasing lockres.
That grab is not required because we don't call dlm_unregister_domain()
based on refcount.
