GFS2: Drop inadequate rgrps from the reservation tree
This is just basically a resend of a patch I posted earlier. It didn't change from its original, except in diff offsets, etc: This patch fixes a bug in the GFS2 block allocation code. The problem starts if a process already has a multi-block reservation, but for some reason, another process disqualifies it from further allocations. For example, the other process might set on the GFS2_RDF_ERROR bit. The process holding the reservation jumps to label skip_rgrp, but that label comes after the code that removes the reservation from the tree. Therefore, the no longer usable reservation is not removed from the rgrp's reservations tree; it's lost. Eventually, the lost reservation causes the count of reserved blocks to get off, and eventually that causes a BUG_ON(rs->rs_rbm.rgd->rd_reserved < rs->rs_free) to trigger. This patch moves the call to after label skip_rgrp so that the disqualified reservation is properly removed from the tree, thus keeping the rgrp rd_reserved count sane.
