ocfs2: Add clusters free in dealloc_ctxt.
Now in ocfs2 xattr set, the whole process are divided into many small parts and they are wrapped into diffrent transactions and it make the set doesn't look like a real transaction. So we want to integrate it into a real one. In some cases we will allocate some clusters and free some in just one transaction. e.g, one xattr is larger than inline size, so it and its value root is stored within the inode while the value is outside in a cluster. Then we try to update it with a smaller value(larger than the size of root but smaller than inline size), we may need to free the outside cluster while allocate a new bucket(one cluster) since now the inode may be full. The old solution will lock the global_bitmap(if the local alloc failed in stress test) and then the truncate log. This will cause a ABBA lock with truncate log flush. This patch add the clusters free in dealloc_ctxt, so that we can record the free clusters during the transaction and then free it after we release the global_bitmap in xattr set.
