commit 1689c169134f4b5a39156122d799b7dca76d8ddb upstream.
We always call hold_lkb(lkb) if we increment lkb->lkb_wait_count. So, we always need to call unhold_lkb(lkb) if we decrement lkb->lkb_wait_count. This patch will add missing unhold_lkb(lkb) if we decrement lkb->lkb_wait_count. In case of setting lkb->lkb_wait_count to zero we need to countdown until reaching zero and call unhold_lkb(lkb). The waiters list unhold_lkb(lkb) can be removed because it's done for the last lkb_wait_count decrement iteration as it's done in _remove_from_waiters().
This issue was discovered by a dlm gfs2 test case which use excessively dlm_unlock(LKF_CANCEL) feature. Probably the lkb->lkb_wait_count value never reached above 1 if this feature isn't used and so it was not discovered before.
The testcase ended in a rsb on the rsb keep data structure with a refcount of 1 but no lkb was associated with it, which is itself an invalid behaviour. A side effect of that was a condition in which the dlm was sending remove messages in a looping behaviour. With this patch that has not been reproduced.
