GFS2: Fix race during filesystem mount
There is a potential race during filesystem mounting which has recently been reported. It occurs when the userland gfs_controld is able to process requests fast enough that it tries to use the sysfs interface before the lock module is properly initialised. This is a pretty unusual case as normally the lock module initialisation is very quick compared with gfs_controld. This patch adds an interruptible completion which is used to ensure that userland will wait for the initialisation of the lock module to complete. There are other potential solutions to this problem, but this is the quickest at this stage and has been tested both with and without mount.gfs2 present in the system.
