gfs2_glockfd_seq_stop() drops the file and task references held by
the iterator, but leaves both pointers unchanged. seq_file can invoke the
iterator again after stop, for example after a bounded read followed by a
rewind.

The next start then drops the stale task reference again in
gfs2_glockfd_next_task(), and can similarly drop the stale file reference
in gfs2_glockfd_next_file(). A duplicate task put can queue the task_struct
for RCU freeing before fget_task_next() uses it.

Clear both pointers when releasing their references so later iterator
callbacks cannot put them again.
