[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.
