gfs2: do_promote glock holder stealing fix
In do_promote(), when the glock had no strong holders, we were accidentally calling demote_incompat_holders() with new_gh == NULL, so no weak holders were considered incompatible. Instead, the new holder should have been passed in. For doing that, the HIF_HOLDER flag needs to be set in new_gh to prevent may_grant() from complaining. This means that the new holder will now be recognized as a current holder, so skip over it explicitly in demote_incompat_holders() to prevent it from being dequeued. To further clarify things, we can now rename new_gh to current_gh in demote_incompat_holders(); after all, the HIF_HOLDER flag is already set, which means the new holder is already a current holder.
