[PATCH 3/3] locks: fix tracking of inprogress lease breaks

From: J. Bruce Fields <bfields at redhat.com>

We currently use a bit in fl_flags to record whether a lease is being
broken, and set fl_type to the type (RDLCK or UNLCK) that it will
eventually have.  This means that once the lease break starts, we forget
what the lease's type *used* to be.  Breaking a read lease will then
result in blocking read opens, even though there's no conflict--because
the lease type is now F_UNLCK and we can no longer tell whether it was
previously a read or write lease.

So, instead keep fl_type as the original type (the type which we
enforce), and keep track of whether we're unlocking or merely
downgrading by replacing the single FL_INPROGRESS flag by
FL_UNLOCK_PENDING and FL_DOWNGRADE_PENDING flags.

To get this right we also need to track separate downgrade and break
times, to handle the case where a write-leased file gets conflicting
opens first for read, then later for write.

(I first considered just eliminating the downgrade behavior
completely--nfsv4 doesn't need it, and nobody as far as I can tell
actually uses it currently--but Jeremy Allison tells me that Windows
oplocks do behave this way, so Samba will probably use this some day.)
