locks: add fl_grant callback for asynchronous lock return

Browse source 
Acquiring a lock on a cluster filesystem may require communication with
remote hosts, and to avoid blocking lockd or nfsd threads during such
communication, we allow the results to be returned asynchronously.

When a ->lock() call needs to block, the file system will return
-EINPROGRESS, and then later return the results with a call to the
routine in the fl_grant field of the lock_manager_operations struct.

This differs from the case when ->lock returns -EAGAIN to a blocking
lock request; in that case, the filesystem calls fl_notify when the lock
is granted, and the caller retries the original lock.  So while
fl_notify is merely a hint to the caller that it should retry, fl_grant
actually communicates the final result of the lock operation (with the
lock already acquired in the succesful case).

Therefore fl_grant takes a lock, a status and, for the test lock case, a
conflicting lock.  We also allow fl_grant to return an error to the
filesystem, to handle the case where the fl_grant requests arrives after
the lock manager has already given up waiting for it.
