GFS2: Fix panic in glock memory shrinker

Browse source 
It is possible for gfs2_shrink_glock_memory() to check a glock for
demotion
that's in the process of being freed by gfs2_glock_put().  In this case,
gfs2_shrink_glock_memory() will acquire a new reference to this glock,
and
then try to free the glock itself when it drops the refernce.  To solve
this, gfs2_shrink_glock_memory() just needs to check if the glock is in
the process of being freed, and if so skip it without ever unlocking the
lru_lock.
