[PATCH 0/2] fix deadlock caused by recursive cluster locking

[Eric Ren]

This is a formal patch set 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.

Your comments and feedbacks are always welcomed.
