Either set could be trivially removed.  It's such an insignificant issue
that I've removed glock_hold and put.  For the record,

within glock.c we consistently paired inlined versions of:
	glock_hold()
	glock_put()

we wanted external versions to be appropriately named so we had:
	gfs2_glock_hold()
	gfs2_glock_put()

still not sure if that technique is acceptable in this crowd or not.
