Subject: [PATCH][RESEND for 2.6.29-rc8-mm1] skip I_CLEAR state inodes

clear_inode() will switch inode state from I_FREEING to I_CLEAR,
and do so _outside_ of inode_lock. So any I_FREEING testing is
incomplete without a coupled testing of I_CLEAR.

So add I_CLEAR tests to drop_pagecache_sb(), generic_sync_sb_inodes() and
add_dquot_ref().

Masayoshi MIZUMA discovered the bug in drop_pagecache_sb() and Jan Kara
reminds fixing the other two cases.
