GFS2: Fix symlink creation race
In certain cases symlinks can appear to have zero size if a lookup on the inode occurs within a certain (very short) time after the symlink has been created. The symlink is correctly created on disk but appears to have zero size when stat()ed. This patch closes the race and prevents incorrect sizes appearing.
