ocfs2: dlmlock_master() should return DLM_NORMAL after adding lock to blocked list

dlmlock_master() returns DLM_RECOVERING/DLM_MIGRATING/ DLM_FORWAR after
adding lock to blocked list if lockres has the state
DLM_LOCK_RES_RECOVERING/DLM_LOCK_RES_MIGRATING/ DLM_LOCK_RES_IN_PROGRESS.
so it will retry in dlmlock().  And this may cause dlm_thread fall into an
infinite loop

Thread1                                  dlm_thread

  calls dlm_lock->dlmlock_master,
  if lockresA is in state
  DLM_LOCK_RES_RECOVERING, calls
  __dlm_wait_on_lockres() and waits
  until others threads clear this
  state;

  If cannot grant this lock,
  adding lock to blocked list,
  and return DLM_RECOVERING;

                                        Grant this lock and move it to
                                        grant list;

  After a while, retry and
  calls list_add_tail(), adding lock
  to blocked list again.

Granted and blocked list of this lockres will become the following
conditions:

    lock_res->granted.next = dlm_lock->list_head;
    lock_res->blocked.next = dlm_lock->list_head;
    dlm_lock->list_head.next = dlm_lock_resource->blocked;

When dlm_thread traverses the granted list, it will fall into an endless
loop, checking dlm_lock.list_head, dlm_lock->list_head.next
(i.e.lock_res->blocked), lock_res->blocked.next(i.e.dlm_lock.list_head
again) .....
