[PATCH v3] ocfs2: rebase copied fsdlm LVB pointers in locking_state

The locking_state debugfs iterator snapshots struct ocfs2_lock_res by
value under ocfs2_dlm_tracking_lock and later formats that copy in
ocfs2_dlm_seq_show(). That is fine for the inline fields, but the
userspace fsdlm stack stores the LVB through lksb_fsdlm.sb_lvbptr. Once
the iterator drops the tracking lock, a copied non-NULL sb_lvbptr still
points into the original lockres owner, so teardown can free that
container before the debugfs dump walks the raw LVB bytes.

Rebase the copied sb_lvbptr to the copied l_lksb before dumping the raw
LVB. The seq snapshot already carries the inline LVB storage reserved in
struct ocfs2_dlm_lksb, so the debugfs reader can dump the copied bytes
without borrowing the original lockres lifetime.

The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order
within that path:

locking_state reader:                  lockres teardown:
1. ocfs2_dlm_seq_start()/next()        1. file release or another owner
   copies struct ocfs2_lock_res           teardown reaches
2. ocfs2_dlm_seq_show() formats           ocfs2_lock_res_free()
   the copied row                      2. the lockres is removed from the
3. ocfs2_dlm_lvb() follows the            tracking list
   copied sb_lvbptr                   3. the owner frees the original
                                          lockres container
