[PATCH] vfs_retention: add this module to make a share read only with a special time period.

[Li, Dan]

Hi, Volker

I just email to this mail list and two of them suggested me to create a module for this.
I also believe it is not a good idea to modify the existing module so I create a new one.
Besides, the worm means write once and read many which does not mention a limited period in following page,

Regards,
Li Dan
