gfs2: Fix "Make glock lru list scanning safer"
Commit 228804a3 tried to add a refcount check to gfs2_scan_glock_lru() to make sure that glocks that are still referenced cannot be freed. It failed to account for the bias state_change() adds to the refcount for held glocks, so held glocks are no longer removed from the glock cache, which can lead to out-of-memory problems. Fix that. (The inodes those glocks are associated with do get shrunk and do get pushed out of memory.) In addition, use the same eligibility check in gfs2_scan_glock_lru() and gfs2_dispose_glock_lru().
