gfs2: Allow some glocks to be used during withdraw
We need to allow some glocks to be enqueued, dequeued, promoted, and demoted when we're withdrawn. For example, to maintain metadata integrity, we should disallow the use of inode and rgrp glocks when withdrawn. Other glocks, like iopen or the transaction glocks may be safely used because none of their metadata goes through the journal. So in general, we should disallow all glocks with an address space, and allow all the others. One exception is: we need to allow our active journal to be demoted so others may recover it. Allowing glocks after withdraw gives us the ability to take appropriate action (in a following patch) to have our journal properly replayed by another node rather than just abandoning the current transactions and pretending nothing bad happened, leaving the other nodes free to modify the blocks we had in our journal, which may result in file system corruption.
