Add new callback, lm_expire_lock, to lock_manager_operations to allow
the lock manager to take appropriate action to resolve the lock conflict
if possible. The callback takes 2 arguments, file_lock of the blocker
and a testonly flag:

testonly = 1  check and return lock manager's private data if lock conflict
             can be resolved else return NULL.
testonly = 0  resolve the conflict if possible, return true if conflict
             was resolved esle return false.

Lock manager, such as NFSv4 courteous server, uses this callback to
resolve conflict by destroying lock owner, or the NFSv4 courtesy client
(client that has expired but allowed to maintains its states) that owns
the lock.

Dai and I discussed this offline. Depending on a pointer to represent
exactly the same struct file_lock across a dropped spinlock is racy.

Yes.  There's also no need for that (checked_cfl != cfl) check, though.
By the time func() returns, that lock should be gone from the list
anyway.

func() eventually calls expire_client. But we do not know if expire_client
succeeds.

expire_client always succeeds, maybe you're thinking of
mark_client_expired_locked or something?

If there's a chance something might fail here, the only reason should be
that the client is no longer a courtesy client because it's come back to
life.  But in that case the correct behavior would be to just honor the
lock conflict and return -EAGAIN.

--b.

One simple way to know if the conflict client was successfully
expired is to check the list again. If the client was successfully expired
then its locks were removed from the list. Otherwise we get the same 'cfl'
from the list again on the next get.

It's a little inefficient to have to restart the list every time--but
that theoretical n^2 behavior won't matter much compared to the time
spent waiting for clients to expire.  And this approach has the benefit
of being simple.

--b.

Dai plans to investigate other mechanisms to perform this check
reliably.
