Function dlmlock_master() returns DLM_RECOVERING/DLM_MIGRATING/
DLM_FORWAR after adding lock to blocked list if lockres has the state
DLM_LOCK_RES_RECOVERING/DLM_LOCK_RES_MIGRATING/
DLM_LOCK_RES_IN_PROGRESS. so it will retry in dlmlock(). And this may
cause dlm_thread fall into an infinite loop

	Thread1                                  dlm_thread
calls dlm_lock->dlmlock_master,				     
if lockresA is in state
DLM_LOCK_RES_RECOVERING, calls
__dlm_wait_on_lockres() and waits
until others threads clear this
state; 

If cannot grant this lock,
adding lock to blocked list,
and return DLM_RECOVERING;	

                                        Grant this lock and move it to
                                        grant list;

After a while, retry and 
calls list_add_tail(), adding lock
to blocked list again. 

Granted and blocked list of this lockres will become the following
conditions:
    lock_res->granted.next = dlm_lock->list_head;
    lock_res->blocked.next = dlm_lock->list_head;
    dlm_lock->list_head.next = dlm_lock_resource->blocked;
When dlm_thread traverses the granted list, it will fall into an
endless loop, checking dlm_lock.list_head, dlm_lock->list_head.next
(i.e.lock_res->blocked), lock_res->blocked.next(i.e.dlm_lock.list_head
again) .....
