This causes locking imbalance:

        status = ocfs2_cluster_lock(osb, lockres, ex ? LKM_EXMODE :LKM_PRMODE,
                                            0, 0);
        ...
        return status;
  }
        

When ocfs2_nfs_sync_lock() returns error, caller can not know if the
lock was taken or not.

ocfs2_get_dentry() for example will not call ocfs2_nfs_sync_unlock()
if sync_lock() failed, resulting in lock imbalance if
ocfs2_cluster_lock() fails.

(Totally untested).
