[ogfs-dev]Running LSB-VSX test suite on ogfs filesystem

I have finished running the LSB-VSX test suite from The Open Group on
opengfs-0.3.0 (single node).  It uncovered two system crashes, both of which
have been added to the OpenGFS bug list.

The first is an ASSERT when using OpenGFS to host a loopback device file
(http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=905403&group_id=34688&atid=412037).  I was able to work around this problem and get the test suites to
run by moving the loopback device file to a non-ogfs filesystem.

The second is a kernel NULL pointer dereference oops in ogfs_plock_act().  I
have fixed this problem, and attached the patch to the bug report
(http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=905511&group_id=34688&atid=412037).

With the work-around and patch, the LSB-VSX test results were identical to those
of a run on an EXT3 filesystem.
