Usually, ocfs2_downconvert_lock() function always downconverts
dlm lock to the expected level for satisfy dlm bast requests
from the other nodes.
But there is a rare situation. When dlm lock conversion is being
canceled, ocfs2_downconvert_lock() function will return -EBUSY.
You need to be aware that ocfs2_cancel_convert() function is
asynchronous in fsdlm implementation.
If we does not requeue this lockres entry, ocfs2 downconvert
thread no longer handles this dlm lock bast request. Then, the
other nodes will not get the dlm lock again, the current node's
process will be blocked when acquire this dlm lock again.

v2: keep error print in ocfs2_downconvert_lock function, add more detailed
comments in code, add msleep to avoid repeated attempts.
