GFS2: Introduce helper for clearing gl_object
This patch introduces a new helper function in glock.h that clears gl_object, with an added integrity check. An additional integrity check has been added to glock_set_object, plus comments. This is step 1 in a series to ensure gl_object integrity. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@redhat.com>
