I'd have to get confirmation on this but it looks like this commit
obsoleted gfs_controld:
commit e0c2a9aa1e68455dc3439e95d85cabcaff073666

GFS2: dlm based recovery coordination
This new method of managing recovery is an alternative to
the previous approach of using the userland gfs_controld.
[...]
Which was released in:
$ git describe --contains e0c2a9aa1e68455dc3439e95d85cabcaff073666
v3.3-rc1~77^2~4
So a little while after linux 1.0 :)
