GFS2: Split glock lru processing into two parts
The intent here is to split the processing of the glock lru list into two parts, so that the selection of glocks and the disposal are separate functions. The plan is then, that further updates can then be made to these functions in the future to improve the selection of glocks and also the efficiency of glock disposal. The new feature which this patch brings is sorting the glocks to be disposed of into glock number (and thus also disk block number) order. Not all glocks will need i/o in order to dispose of them, but some will, and at least we'll generate mostly disk block order i/o now. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
