md-cluster: fix deadlock issue on message lock
There is problem with previous communication mechanism, and we got below
deadlock scenario with cluster which has 3 nodes.
Sender Receiver Receiver
token(EX)
message(EX)
writes message
downconverts message(CR)
requests ack(EX)
get message(CR) gets message(CR)
reads message reads message
requests EX on message requests EX on message
To fix this problem, we do the following changes:
1. the sender downconverts MESSAGE to CW rather than CR.
2. and the receiver request PR lock not EX lock on message.
And in case we failed to down-convert EX to CW on message, it is better to
unlock message otherthan still hold the lock.
