Subject: [PATCH] ocfs2: Wakeup the downconvert thread after a successful cancel convert
Patch-mainline: 2.6.29

When two nodes holding PR locks on a resource concurrently attempt to
upconvert the locks to EX, the master sends a BAST to one of the nodes. This
message tells that node to first cancel convert the upconvert request,
followed by downconvert to a NL. Only when this lock is downconverted to NL,
can the master upconvert the first node's lock to EX.

While the fs was doing the cancel convert, it was forgetting to wake up the
dc thread after a successful cancel, leading to a deadlock.
