gfs2: Change inode qa_data to allow multiple users
Before this patch, multiple users called gfs2_qa_alloc which allocated
a qadata structure to the inode, if quotas are turned on. Later, in
file close or evict, the structure was deleted with gfs2_qa_delete.
But there can be several competing processes who need access to the
structure. There were races between file close (release) and the others.
Thus, a release could delete the structure out from under a process
that relied upon its existence. For example, chown.
This patch changes the management of the qadata structures to be
a get/put scheme. Function gfs2_qa_alloc has been changed to gfs2_qa_get
and if the structure is allocated, the count essentially starts out at
1. Function gfs2_qa_delete has been renamed to gfs2_qa_put, and the
last guy to decrement the count to 0 frees the memory.
