fs: dlm: fix mark setting deadlock
This patch fixes an deadlock issue when dlm_lowcomms_close() is called.
When dlm_lowcomms_close() is called the clusters_root.subsys.su_mutex is
held to remove configfs items. At this time we flushing (e.g.
cancel_work_sync()) the workers of send and recv workqueue. Due the fact
that we accessing configfs items (mark values), these workers will lock
clusters_root.subsys.su_mutex as well which are already hold by
dlm_lowcomms_close() and ends in a deadlock situation.

which lock already depends on the new lock.
The new behaviour adds the mark value to the node address configuration
which doesn't require to held the clusters_root.subsys.su_mutex by
accessing mark values in a separate datastructure. However the mark
values can be set now only after a node address was set which is the
case when the user is using dlm_controld.
