Now that check_submounts_and_drop can not fail and is called from
d_invalidate there is no longer a need to call check_submounts_and_drom
from filesystem d_revalidate methods so remove it.

<title>GFS2: Make rename not save dirent location</title>

<id>19aeb5a65f1a6504fc665466c188241e7393d66f</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch fixes a regression in the patch "GFS2: Remember directory
insert point", commit 2b47dad866d04f14c328f888ba5406057b8c7d33.
The problem had to do with the rename function: The function found
space for the new dirent, and remembered that location. But then the
old dirent was removed, which often moved the eligible location for
the renamed dirent. Putting the new dirent at the saved location
caused file system corruption.

This patch adds a new "save_loc" variable to struct gfs2_diradd.
If 1, the dirent location is saved. If 0, the dirent location is not
saved and the buffer_head is released as per previous behavior.

<title>GFS2: fix bad inode i_goal values during block allocation</title>

<id>00a158be83839f2d5370612d633eb2643ddf844e</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch checks if i_goal is either zero or if doesn't exist
within any rgrp (i.e gfs2_blk2rgrpd() returns NULL). If so, it
assigns the ip-&gt;i_no_addr block as the i_goal.

There are two scenarios where a bad i_goal can result in a
-EBADSLT error.

1. Attempting to allocate to an existing inode:
Control reaches gfs2_inplace_reserve() and ip-&gt;i_goal is bad.
We need to fix i_goal here.

2. A new inode is created in a directory whose i_goal is hosed:
In this case, the parent dir's i_goal is copied onto the new
inode. Since the new inode is not yet created, the ip-&gt;i_no_addr
field is invalid and so, the fix in gfs2_inplace_reserve() as per
1) won't work in this scenario. We need to catch and fix it sooner
in the parent dir itself (gfs2_create_inode()), before it is
copied to the new inode.

<title>GFS2: fix d_splice_alias() misuses</title>

Callers of d_splice_alias(dentry, inode) don't need iput(), neither
on success nor on failure.  Either the reference to inode is stored
in a previously negative dentry, or it's dropped.  In either case
inode reference the caller used to hold is consumed.

__gfs2_lookup() does iput() in case when d_splice_alias() has failed.
Double iput() if we ever hit that.  And gfs2_create_inode() ends up
not only with double iput(), but with link count dropped to zero - on
an inode it has just found in directory.

MAXQUOTAS value defines maximum number of quota types VFS supports.
This isn't necessarily the number of types gfs2 supports and with
addition of project quotas these two numbers stop matching. So make gfs2
use its private definition.
