When we have to take both dlm->master_lock and lockres->spinlock,
take them in order

lockres->spinlock and then dlm->master_lock.

The patch fixes a violation of the rule.
We can simply move taking dlm->master_lock to where we have dropped res->spinlock
since when we access res->state and free mle memory we don't need master_lock's
protection.
