We aren't allowed to pass NULL pointers to kmem_cache_destroy() so if
both allocations fail, it leads to a NULL dereference.

<title>dlm: fixes for nodir mode</title>

<id>4875647a08e35f77274838d97ca8fa44158d50e2</id>
<content type='text'>
The "nodir" mode (statically assign master nodes instead
of using the resource directory) has always been highly
experimental, and never seriously used.  This commit
fixes a number of problems, making nodir much more usable.

- Major change to recovery: recover all locks and restart
  all in-progress operations after recovery.  In some
  cases it's not possible to know which in-progess locks
  to recover, so recover all.  (Most require recovery
  in nodir mode anyway since rehashing changes most
  master nodes.)

- Change the way nodir mode is enabled, from a command
  line mount arg passed through gfs2, into a sysfs
  file managed by dlm_controld, consistent with the
  other config settings.

- Allow recovering MSTCPY locks on an rsb that has not
  yet been turned into a master copy.

- Ignore RCOM_LOCK and RCOM_LOCK_REPLY recovery messages
  from a previous, aborted recovery cycle.  Base this
  on the local recovery status not being in the state
  where any nodes should be sending LOCK messages for the
  current recovery cycle.

- Hold rsb lock around dlm_purge_mstcpy_locks() because it
  may run concurrently with dlm_recover_master_copy().

- Maintain highbast on process-copy lkb's (in addition to
  the master as is usual), because the lkb can switch
  back and forth between being a master and being a
  process copy as the master node changes in recovery.

- When recovering MSTCPY locks, flag rsb's that have
  non-empty convert or waiting queues for granting
  at the end of recovery.  (Rename flag from LOCKS_PURGED
  to RECOVER_GRANT and similar for the recovery function,
  because it's not only resources with purged locks
  that need grant a grant attempt.)

- Replace a couple of unnecessary assertion panics with
  error messages.

If the rsb is found in the "keep" tree, but is
not the right type (i.e. not MASTER), we can
return immediately with the result.  There's
no point in going on to search the "toss" list
as if we hadn't found it.

An outstanding remote operation (an lkb on the "waiter"
list) could sometimes miss being resent during recovery.
The decision was based on the lkb_nodeid field, which
could have changed during an earlier aborted recovery,
so it no longer represents the actual remote destination.
The lkb_wait_nodeid is always the actual remote node,
so it is the best value to use.

During lowcomms shutdown, a new connection could possibly
be created, and attempt to use a workqueue that's been
destroyed.  Similarly, during startup, a new connection
could attempt to use a workqueue that's not been set up
yet.  Add a global variable to indicate when new connections
are allowed.

Many users of debugfs copy the implementation of default_open() when
they want to support a custom read/write function op.  This leads to a
proliferation of the default_open() implementation across the entire
tree.

Now that the common implementation has been consolidated into libfs we
can replace all the users of this function with simple_open().

This replacement was done with the following semantic patch:

&lt;smpl&gt;
@ open @
identifier open_f != simple_open;
identifier i, f;
@@
-int open_f(struct inode *i, struct file *f)
