Introduce a per-lockspace rwsem that's held in read mode by dlm_recv
threads while working in the dlm. This allows dlm_recv activity to be
suspended when the lockspace transitions to, from and between recovery
cycles.The specific bug prompting this change is one where an in-progress
recovery cycle is aborted by a new recovery cycle. While dlm_recv was
processing a recovery message, the recovery cycle was aborted and
dlm_recoverd began cleaning up. dlm_recv decremented recover_locks_count
on an rsb after dlm_recoverd had reset it to zero. This is fixed by
suspending dlm_recv (taking write lock on the rwsem) before aborting the
current recovery.The transitions to/from normal and recovery modes are simplified by using
this new ability to block dlm_recv. The switch from normal to recovery
mode means dlm_recv goes from processing locking messages, to saving them
for later, and vice versa. Races are avoided by blocking dlm_recv when
setting the flag that switches between modes.Signed-off-by: David Teigland

This is the core of the distributed lock manager which is required
to use GFS2 as a cluster filesystem. It is also used by CLVM and
can be used as a standalone lock manager independantly of either
of these two projects.It implements VAX-style locking modes.
