GFS2: Fix panic in glock memory shrinker
It is possible for gfs2_shrink_glock_memory() to check a glock for demotion that's in the process of being freed by gfs2_glock_put(). In this case, gfs2_shrink_glock_memory() will acquire a new reference to this glock, and then try to free the glock itself when it drops the refernce. To solve this, gfs2_shrink_glock_memory() just needs to check if the glock is in the process of being freed, and if so skip it without ever unlocking the lru_lock.
