OCFS2 puts inode meta data in the "lock value block" provided by the DLM.
Typically, i_generation is encoded in the lock name so that a deleted inode
on and a new one in the same block don't share the same lvb.
Unfortunately, that scheme means that the read in ocfs2_read_locked_inode()
is potentially thrown away as soon as the meta data lock is taken - we
cannot encode the lock name without first knowing i_generation, which
requires a disk read.
This patch encodes i_generation in the inode meta data lvb, and removes the
value from the inode meta data lock name. This way, the read can be covered
by a lock, and at the same time we can distinguish between an up to date and
a stale LVB.
This will help cold-cache stat(2) performance in particular.
Since this patch changes the protocol version, we take the opportunity to do
a minor re-organization of two of the LVB fields.

We can't use LKM_LOCAL for new dentry locks because an unlink and subsequent
re-create of a name/inode pair may result in the lock still being mastered
somewhere in the cluster.

Actually replace the vote calls with the new dentry operations. Make any
necessary adjustments to get the scheme to work.

Uptodate.c now knows about read-ahead buffers. Use some more aggressive
logic in ocfs2_readdir().
The two functions which currently use directory read-ahead are
ocfs2_find_entry() and ocfs2_readdir().

Remove the redundant "i_nlink >= OCFS2_LINK_MAX" check and adds an unlinked
directory check in ocfs2_link().

The dir nlink check in ocfs2_mknod() was being done outside of the cluster
lock, which means we could have been checking against a stale version of the
inode. Fix this by doing the check after the cluster lock instead.
