[linux-cifs-client] [RFC] patch to add support for leases to cifs

[Steve French]

fcntl(F_SETLEASE) currently is not exported by cifs (nor by local file
systems) so cifs grants leases based on how other local processes have
opened the file not by whether the file is cacheable (oplocked).  This
adds the check to make sure that the file is cacheable on the client
before checking whether we can grant the lease locally
(generic_setlease).
