2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com>

upstream commit: b6fac63cc1f52ec27f29fe6c6c8494a2ffac33fd

clear_inode() will switch inode state from I_FREEING to I_CLEAR, and do so
_outside_ of inode_lock.  So any I_FREEING testing is incomplete without a
coupled testing of I_CLEAR.

So add I_CLEAR tests to drop_pagecache_sb(), generic_sync_sb_inodes() and
add_dquot_ref().

Masayoshi MIZUMA discovered the bug in drop_pagecache_sb() and Jan Kara
reminds fixing the other two cases.

Masayoshi MIZUMA has a nice panic flow:
