[GFS2] Fix unlink deadlocks

Move the glock acquisition to outside of the transactions.

Lock odering must be preserved in order to prevent ABBA
deadlocks. The current gfs2_change_nlink code would tries
to grab the glock after having started a transaction and thus is holding
the log lock. This is inconsistent with other code paths in
gfs that grab the resource group glock prior to staring
a tranactions.

One problem with this fix is that the resource group
lock is always grabbed now even if the inode still has
ref count and can not be marked for unlink.
