[GFS2] Fix ordering of page disposal vs. glock_dq
In case of unlinked files with dirty pages GFS2 wasn't clearing the pages in quite the right order. This patch clears the pages earlier (before the qlock_dq) to avoid the situation that the release of the glock results in attempting to write back data that has already been deallocated. This fixes Red Hat bugzilla: #220117 Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
