[GFS2] Red Hat bz 228540: owner references

In Testing the previously posted and accepted patch for
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=228540
I uncovered some gfs2 badness.  It turns out that the current
gfs2 code saves off a process pointer when glocks is taken
in both the glock and glock holder structures.  Those
structures will persist in memory long after the process has
ended; pointers to poisoned memory.

This problem isn't caused by the 228540 fix; the new capability
introduced by the fix just uncovered the problem.

I wrote this patch that avoids saving process pointers
and instead saves off the process pid.  Rather than
referencing the bad pointers, it now does process lookups.
There is special code that makes the output nicer for
printing holder information for processes that have ended.

This patch also adds a stub for the new "sprint_symbol"
function that exists in Andrew Morton's -mm patch set, but
won't go into the base kernel until 2.6.22, since it adds
functionality but doesn't fix a bug.
