[PATCH v2 1/2] lockd: fix vfs_test_lock() calls

[NeilBrown <neilb@ownmail.net>]

From: NeilBrown <neil@brown.name>

Usage of vfs_test_lock() is somewhat confused.  Documentation suggests
it is given a "lock" but this is not the case.  It is given a struct
file_lock which contains some details of the sort of lock it should be
looking for.

In particular passing a "file_lock" containing fl_lmops or fl_ops is
meaningless and possibly confusing.

This is particularly problematic in lockd.  nlmsvc_testlock() receives
an initialised "file_lock" from xdr-decode, including manager ops and an
owner.  It then mistakenly passes this to vfs_test_lock() which might
replace the owner and the ops.  This can lead to confusion when freeing
the lock.

The primary role of the 'struct file_lock' passed to vfs_test_lock() is
to report a conflicting lock that was found, so it makes more sense for
nlmsvc_testlock() to pass "conflock", which it uses for returning the
conflicting lock.

With this change, freeing of the lock is not confused and code in
__nlm4svc_proc_test() and __nlmsvc_proc_test() can be simplified.

Documentation for vfs_test_lock() is improved to reflect its real
purpose, and a WARN_ON_ONCE() is added to avoid a similar problem in the
future.
