Subject: [PATCH 10/58] [GFS2] Don't hold page lock when starting transaction

From: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@...hat.com>

This is an addendum to the new AOPs work which moves the point
at which we take the page lock so that we don't get it until
the last possible moment. This resolves a conflict between
starting transactions and the page lock.
