lglock: make lg_lock_global() actually lock globally

lg_lock_global() currently only acquires spinlocks for online CPUs, but
it's meant to lock all possible CPUs.  Lglock-protected resources may be
associated with removed CPUs - and, indeed, that could happen with the
per-superblock open files lists.

At Nick's suggestion, change for_each_online_cpu() to
for_each_possible_cpu() to protect accesses to those resources.
