locks: provide a file lease method enabling cluster-coherent leases
Currently leases are only kept locally, so there's no way for a distributed filesystem to enforce them against multiple clients. We're particularly interested in the case of nfsd exporting a cluster filesystem, in which case nfsd needs cluster-coherent leases in order to implement delegations correctly. Also add some documentation. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>

* filesystem setlease method should call back to setlease() to
|
||||
* add a lease to the inode's lease list, where fcntl_getlease() can
|
||||
* find it. Since fcntl_getlease() only reports whether the current

* task holds a lease, a cluster filesystem need only do this for
|

* leases held by processes on this node.
|

*
|

* There is also no break_lease method; filesystems that
|

* handle their own leases shoud break leases themselves from the
|

* filesystem's open, create, and (on truncate) setattr methods.
|

*
|

* Warning: the only current setlease methods exist only to disable
|
||||
* leases in certain cases. More vfs changes may be required to
|
||||
* allow a full filesystem lease implementation.
