[GFS2] Ensure journal file cache is flushed after recovery
This is for bugzilla bug #248176: GFS2: invalid metadata block Patches 1 thru 3 were accepted upstream, but there were problems with 4 and 5. Those issues have been resolved and now the recovery tests are passing without errors. This code has gone through 41 * 3 successful gfs2 recovery tests before it hit an unrelated (openais) problem. I'm continuing to test it. This is a complete rewrite of patch 5 for bug #248176, written by Steve Whitehouse. This is referred to in the bugzilla record as "new 6" and "a different solution". The problem was that the journal inodes, although protected by a glock, were not synched with the other nodes because they don't use the inode glock synch operations (i.e. no "glops" were defined). Therefore, journal recovery on a journal-recovering node were causing the blocks to get out of sync with the node that was actually trying to use that journal as it comes back up from a reboot. There are two possible solutions: (1) To make the journals use the normal inode glock sync operations, or (2) To make the journal operations take effect immediately (i.e. no caching). Although option 1 works, it turns out to be a lot more code. Steve opted for option 2, which is much simpler and therefore less prone to regression errors.
