    GFS2: Fix race in gfs2_rs_alloc · f1213cac

    QE aio tests uncovered a race condition in gfs2_rs_alloc where it's possible
    to come out of the function with a valid ip->i_res allocation but it gets
    freed before use resulting in a NULL ptr dereference.
    
    This patch envelopes the initial short-circuit check for non-NULL ip->i_res
    into the mutex lock. With this patch, I was able to successfully run the
    reproducer test multiple times.
