Subject: [PATCH 41/58] [GFS2] Function meta_read optimization

From: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@...hat.com>

This patch optimizes function gfs2_meta_read.  Basically, gfs2_meta_wait
was being called regardless of whether a disk read was requested.
This just pulls that wait into the if that triggers the read.
