gfs2: don't lock sd_ail_lock in gfs2_releasepage
Patch 380f7c65a7eb3288e4b6812acf3474a1de230707 changed gfs2_releasepage
so that it held the sd_ail_lock spin_lock for most of its processing.
It did this for some mysterious undocumented bug somewhere in the
evict code path. But in the nine years since, evict has been reworked
and fixed many times, and so have the transactions and ail list.
I can't see a reason to hold the sd_ail_lock unless it's protecting
the actual ail lists hung off the transactions. Therefore, this patch
removes the locking to increase speed and efficiency, and to further help
us rework the log flush code to be more concurrent with transactions.
