[DLM] dlm_device interface changes [3/6]

Change the user/kernel device interface used by libdlm:
- Add ability for userspace to check the version of the interface.  libdlm
  can now adapt to different versions of the kernel interface.
- Increase the size of the flags passed in a lock request so all possible
  flags can be used from userspace.
- Add an opaque "xid" value for each lock.  This "transaction id" will be
  used later to associate locks with each other during deadlock detection.
- Add a "timeout" value for each lock.  This is used along with the
  DLM_LKF_TIMEOUT flag.

Also, remove a fragment of unused code in device_read().

This patch requires updating libdlm which is backward compatible with
older kernels.
