[GFS2] Fix recursive locking in gfs2_getattr
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The readdirplus NFS operation can result in gfs2_getattr being
called with the glock already held. In this case we do not want
to try and grab the lock again.

This fixes Red Hat bugzilla #215727
