ocfs2: fix occurring deadlock by changing ocfs2_wq from global to local
This patch fixes a deadlock, as follows: Node 1 Node 2 Node 3 1)volume a and b are only mount vol a only mount vol b mounted 2) start to mount b start to mount a 3) check hb of Node 3 check hb of Node 2 in vol a, qs_holds++ in vol b, qs_holds++ 4) -------------------- all nodes' network down -------------------- 5) progress of mount b the same situation as failed, and then call Node 2 ocfs2_dismount_volume. but the process is hung, since there is a work in ocfs2_wq cannot beo completed. This work is about vol a, because ocfs2_wq is global wq. BTW, this work which is scheduled in ocfs2_wq is ocfs2_orphan_scan_work, and the context in this work needs to take inode lock of orphan_dir, because lockres owner are Node 1 and all nodes' nework has been down at the same time, so it can't get the inode lock. 6) Why can't this node be fenced when network disconnected? Because the process of mount is hung what caused qs_holds is not equal 0. Because all works in the ocfs2_wq are relative to the super block. The solution is to change the ocfs2_wq from global to local. In other words, move it into struct ocfs2_super.
