    ocfs2: o2dlm: fix a race between purge and master query · cb79662b

    Node A sends master query request to node B which is the master.  At this
    time lockres happens to be on purgelist.  dlm_master_request_handler gets
    the dlm spinlock, finds the resource and releases the dlm spin lock.
    Right at this dlm_thread on this node could purge the lockres.
    dlm_master_request_handler can then acquire lockres spinlock and reply to
    Node A that node B is the master even though lockres on node B is purged.
    
    The above scenario will now make node A falsely think node B is the master
    which is inconsistent.  Further if another node C tries to master the same
    resource, every node will respond they are not the master.  Node C then
    masters the resource and sends assert master to all nodes.  This will now
    make node A crash with the following message.
    
    dlm_assert_master_handler:1831 ERROR: DIE! Mastery assert from 9, but current
    owner is 10!
