When trying to upgrade the iopen glock from a shared to an exclusive lock in gfs2_evict_inode, abort the wait if there is contention on the corresponding inode glock: in that case, the inode must still be in active use on another node, and we're not guaranteed to get the iopen glock anytime soon. To make this work even better, when we notice contention on the iopen glock and we can't evict the corresponsing inode and release the iopen glock immediately, poke the inode glock. The other node(s) trying to acquire the lock can then abort instead of timing out. Thanks to Heinz Mauelshagen for pointing out a locking bug in a previous version of this patch.
