Merge tag 'gfs2-4.17.fixes2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gfs2/linux-gfs2

Pull more gfs2 updates from Bob Peterson:
 "We decided to request the latest three patches to be merged into this
  merge window while it's still open.

   - The first patch adds a new function to lockref:
     lockref_put_not_zero

   - The second patch fixes GFS2's glock dump code so it uses the new
     lockref function. This fixes a problem whereby lock dumps could
     miss glocks.

   - I made a minor patch to update some comments and fix the lock
     ordering text in our gfs2-glocks.txt Documentation file"

Glock locking order within GFS2:
1. i_mutex (if required)
1. i_rwsem (if required)
2. Rename glock (for rename only)
3. Inode glock(s)
(Parents before children, inodes at "same level" with same parent in
lock number order)
4. Rgrp glock(s) (for (de)allocation operations)
5. Transaction glock (via gfs2_trans_begin) for non-read operations
6. Page lock (always last, very important!)

7. Page lock (always last, very important!)
There are two glocks per inode. One deals with access to the inode
itself (locking order as above), and the other, known as the iopen
