  Hum, now looking again into ocfs2_clear_inode() there are more problems
than I originally thought. Look for example at
ocfs2_mark_lockres_freeing(). That will block on rw/inode/open lock if
there is downconvert pending waiting for that downconvert to finish.
However that never happens when ocfs2_clear_inode() is called from the
downconvert thread.

So we are back to square one - I don't see a way how to fix these deadlocks
without postponing dropping of inode reference to a workqueue :(.
