Before this patch, the rgrp_go_inval and inode_go_inval functions each checked if there were any items left on the ail count (by way of a count), and if so, did a withdraw. But the withdraw code now uses glocks when changing the file system to read-only status. So we can not have glock functions withdrawing or a hang will likely result: The glocks can't be serviced by the work_func if the work_func is busy doing its own withdraw. This patch removes the checks from the go_inval functions and adds a centralized check in do_xmote to warn about the problem and not withdraw, but flag the error so it's eventually caught when the logd daemon eventually runs.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
