Before this patch, run_queue would demote glocks based on whether
there are any more holders. But if the glock has pending revokes that
haven't been written to the media, giving up the glock might end in
file system corruption if the revokes never get written due to
io errors, node crashes and fences, etc. In that case, another node
will replay the metadata blocks associated with the glock, but
because the revoke was never written, it could replay that block
even though the glock had since been granted to another node who
might have made changes.
This patch changes the logic in run_queue so that it never demotes
a glock until its count of pending revokes reaches zero.

I'm not sure this makes sense... if we demote the glock then the revokes
should be written out during that process. So if that is not happening
it is a bug. I don't think we should need to change the logic for
deciding what we are going to demote?
