All callers either pass in NULL directly, or a local variable that is
already set to NULL.

The internals of ocfs2_start_trans() get a nice cleanup as a result.

This sets us up to remove handle->journal.

Now that this is unused and all callers pass NULL, we can safely remove it.

Instead we record our state on the allocation context structure which all
callers already know about and lifetime correctly. This means the
reservation functions don't need a handle passed in any more, and we can
also take it off the alloc context.

Take and drop the locks directly.

Callers can set h_sync directly on the handle_t, whether a transaction has
been started or not can be determined via the existence of the handle_t on
the struct ocfs2_journal_handle.

Record the most recently used allocation group on the allocation context, so
that subsequent allocations can attempt to optimize for contiguousness.
Local alloc especially should benefit from this as the current chain search
tends to let it spew across the disk.

This patch converts the inode semaphore to a mutex. I have tested it on
XFS and compiled as much as one can consider on an ia64. Anyway your
luck with it might be different.
