gfs2: Get rid of demote_ok checks
The demote_ok glock operation is only still used to prevent the inode glocks of the "jindex" and "rindex" directories from getting recycled while they are still referenced by sdp->sd_jindex and sdp->sd_rindex. However, the LRU walking code will no longer recycle glocks which are referenced, so the demote_ok glock operation is obsolete and can be removed. Each of a glock's holders in the gl_holders list is holding a reference on the glock, so when the list of holders isn't empty in demote_ok(), the existing reference count check will already prevent the glock from getting released. This means that demote_ok() is obsolete as well. Signed-off-by: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@redhat.com>
