locks: provide a file lease method enabling cluster-coherent leases
Currently leases are only kept locally, so there's no way for a distributed filesystem to enforce them against multiple clients. We're particularly interested in the case of nfsd exporting a cluster filesystem, in which case nfsd needs cluster-coherent leases in order to implement delegations correctly. Also add some documentation. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
