Subject: [PATCH 31/51] [GFS2] fix inode meta data corruption

From: Wendy Cheng <wcheng@...hat.com>

Fix a nasty inode meta data corruption issue by keeping the buffer head in
icache array. This buffer needs to stay in memory until journal flush occurs
Otherwise, gfs2_meta_inode_buffer could do a disk read before the inode hits
disk. It ends up with meta data corruptions. The buffer will be released as
part of the existing journal flush logic.
