The remained waiting nodes get the lock, and do not update DLM lock value block, but this
DLM lock value block is still valid. Actually, the DLM lock value block should be updated by the
node, which really does a fstrim operation on the disk.

Since we need to identify if there is a node which has been doing the fstrim when we start to do a fstrim.
In ocfs2, for most cases, the code gets a block lock and cache this lock until downgrade.
this trick is better to avoid network traffic, but can not provide DLM layer trylock feature since the node does not drop the lock until the memory object (e.g. inode) is evicted.
