[PATCH] lglock: make lg_lock_global() actually lock globally

lg_lock_global() currently only acquires spinlocks for online CPUs, but
it's meant to lock all possible CPUs. Lglock-protected resources may be
associated with removed CPUs - and, indeed, that could happen with the
per-superblock open files lists. At Nick's suggestion, change
for_each_online_cpu() to for_each_possible_cpu() to protect accesses to
those resources.
