In commit a5a0a630922a2f6a774b6dac19f70cb5abd86bb0, when
ocfs2_attch_dentry_lock fails, we call an extra iput and reset
dentry->d_fsdata to NULL. This resolve a bug, but it isn't
completed and the dentry is still there. When we want to use
it again, ocfs2_dentry_revalidate doesn't catch it and return
true. That make future ocfs2_dentry_lock panic out.
One bug is http://oss.oracle.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1162.

The resolution is to add a check for dentry->d_fsdata in
revalidate process and return false if dentry->d_fsdata is NULL,
so that a new ocfs2_lookup will be called again.
