The following patch may cause umount hang while
shutting down truncate log.
75f82eaa502c (ocfs2: fix NULL pointer dereference when dismount and
ocfs2rec simultaneously)

The situation is as followes:
ocfs2_dismout_volume
-> ocfs2_recovery_exit
  -> free osb->recovery_map
-> ocfs2_truncate_shutdown
  -> lock global bitmap inode
    -> ocfs2_wait_for_recovery
	  -> check whether osb->recovery_map->rm_used is zero
Because osb->recovery_map is already freed, rm_used can be any other
values, so it may yield umount hang.
