Although not doing that right now, but there is a bug for getting the right ld_owner
in nfs4_set_lock_denied.

If denying locks, vfs don't copy fl->fl_lmops to the returned file_lock, so that,
fl->fl_lmops always be NULL, nfsd never return the owner who holds the conflock.

If we want fix this problem, needs finding the lockowner from struct file_lock.
