gfs2: Fix data loss during inode evict
When gfs2_evict_inode() is called on an inode with unwritten data in the
page cache, the page cache needs to be written before it can be
truncated. This doesn't always happen. Fix that by changing
gfs2_evict_inode() to always either call evict_linked_inode() or
evict_unlinked_inode().
Inside evict_unlinked_inode(), first check if the inode is dirty. If it
is, make sure the inode glock is held and write back the data and
metadata. If it isn't, skip those steps.
Also, make sure that gfs2_evict_inode() calls gfs2_evict_inode() and
evict_unlinked_inode() only if ip->i_gl is not NULL; this avoids
unnecessary complications there.
Fixes xfstest generic/211.
