ocfs2_drop_dentry_lock() drops the inode reference before releasing the
DENTRY lock. This lets inode eviction release the local inode and open
locks before a remote unlink can proceed past the DENTRY lock.
A DLM callback can still arrive before the DENTRY lock has been dropped.
ocfs2_get_dentry_osb() obtains the mount context through dl_inode->i_sb,
which can access a freed inode when the downconvert thread drops the
last inode reference in its post-unlock callback:
Downconvert thread DLM callback thread
------------------ -------------------
ocfs2_process_blocked_lock()
ocfs2_dentry_post_unlock()
ocfs2_dentry_lock_put()
ocfs2_drop_dentry_lock()
iput(dl->dl_inode)
[inode reclaimed after RCU]
ocfs2_blocking_ast()
ocfs2_get_dentry_osb()
dl->dl_inode->i_sb
ocfs2_simple_drop_lockres()
Store the mount context in the DENTRY lock resource's l_priv field and
use the default mount-context lookup. Recover the containing dentry
lock with container_of(), as already done for refcount locks, and remove
ocfs2_get_dentry_osb(). ocfs2_dismount_volume() shuts down the DLM before
freeing the mount context, so callbacks can use it without accessing the
inode. Preserve the existing iput-before-unlock order to avoid delaying
local inode and open lock release until after the DENTRY lock is released.

Changes in v2:
- Preserve the existing iput-before-unlock order and cache the mount context
in the lock resource's existing l_priv field instead.
- Recover the containing dentry lock with container_of() and remove the
inode-dependent mount-context lookup.
- Correct the comment describing the dentry lock's inode reference.
