GFS2: Fix race in gfs2_rs_alloc
QE aio tests uncovered a race condition in gfs2_rs_alloc where it's possible to come out of the function with a valid ip->i_res allocation but it gets freed before use resulting in a NULL ptr dereference. This patch envelopes the initial short-circuit check for non-NULL ip->i_res into the mutex lock. With this patch, I was able to successfully run the reproducer test multiple times. Resolves: rhbz#878476 Signed-off-by: Abhi Das <adas@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
