Ensure that it's OK to pass in a NULL file_lock double pointer on

do just that.

Finally, turn the BUG_ON in generic_setlease into a WARN_ON_ONCE
with an error return. That's a problem we can handle without
crashing the box if it occurs.
Can we just make generic_delete_lease (maye renamed to vfs_delete_lease)
the interface for deleting leases instead of going through a useless
multiplex and file operation?
