Subject: [PATCH] [GFS2] Fix list corruption in lops.c

The patch below appears to fix the list corruption that we are seeing on
occasion. Although the transaction structure is private to a single
thread, when the queued structures are dismantled during an in-core
commit, its possible for a different thread to be trying to add the same
structure to another, new, transaction at the same time.

To avoid this, this patch takes the log spinlock during this operation.
