I do not think using EXMODE lock to global bitmap meta can handle this case.
this patch's purpose is to avoid duplicated trim when the nodes in cluster are configured to a schedule fstrim (usually the administrator do like that).
But, there are lots of path to use EXMODE lock to global bitmap meta, we can not know which is used to trim fs.
Second, we can not use global bitmap meta lock to save fstrim related data and trylock.
